Mr Buchholz, his siblings and my parents are members of the greatest generation. I primarily knew his family through St Mary’s Church and many of his nieces and nephews were classmates at St Mary’s Elementary School and Wooster High School. He and his extended family were kind, loving and generous. God bless to all.
A very kind man who enriched the lives of all who knew him. You will be missed.
