Bus was a friend, teacher and guide for me when I joined the Christiana Lodge 417. We worked together at CH Zimmerman and when I wasn't doing refrigeration I'd be teamed up with Bus as we had a rapport from the beginning like installing a new boiler at Brady Hershey's store in town or working on Andy Lemhennies butcher shop but the highlight was when we were doing the expansion of Wilde's Funeral Home and old Jim Wilde came down in the basement and Bus was wedged in the crawl space soldering the baseboard heating and Jim said to Bus don't worry if you get stuck I've got needles long enough to reach if you get stuck. Bus was one of a kind and I was so lucky to have worked with him and learned so much on many levels. May he rest in peace my prayers go out to all of his family.

Johnny Glenn was in the plumbing business with my Uncle Lash (Elisha) and dad Rawlins (Tubby) McGuigan before he was married. I've know him all my life. When those three got together it was a contest to see who could out lie the other! He was an absolute gentleman and I am proud to call him my Masonic Brother. The world could use more like him. My sincere condolences to the entire family.

Dave McGuigan, District Deputy Grand Master of the Sixteenth Masonic District
