He was a wonderful man, and a very talented sports announcer. I will never forget listening to Bus and his sidekick Bill Hildenbrand as they did the play by play on WBUD (1490 on the dial) in Morrisville. They were sponsored by Stan Coney Rebuilt Engines and I never missed any of those Trenton Giants Interstate League baseball games back in the mid 1940's The Trenton Giants were a farm team of the New York Giants. As we all know a young kid named Willie Mays was a Trenton Giant who went on to become a Hall of Famer.

HI TOM....BUS SAIDT WAS A GOOD GFRIEND. WE ATTENDED SCHOOL ABOUT THE SAME TIME AND WE PLAYED TOGETHER ON THE 1936 SCHROTHS. HE WAS A UTILITY PLAYER BUT HELPED IN MANY WAYS WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE GAME AND FRIENDSHIP. HE ANNOUNCED THE GAME IN INDIANAPOPLIS WHEN THE SCHROTHS WENT ALL THE WAY IN WINNING THE AMERICAN LEGION WORLD SERIES IN 1948. I RECALL HOW HE DISCRIBED THE PLAY WHEN MY BROTHER CHUCK STOLE HOME IN THE FIRST INNING. GREAT MEMORIES.
