Buster was born on September 13, 1951 in Upper Sandusky, Ohio to the late Robert James and Loretta (Billock) Phillips. Buster grew up in the Upper Sandusky and Carey and worked for Westinghouse/A.O. Smith in their Die Casting Department until his retirement.
In his free time, he could often be found tinkering on his Harley and was a member of the Tread Knots Motorcycle Club. He also enjoyed watching a good old Western.
Never meeting a stranger, Buster loved his life and the people in it and always accepted them as they were with his non-judgmental attitude. Above all, Buster treasured spending time with his children and family-especially his grandson, Czedric who was the highlight of his life.
