I heard Buzz retired several years ago. I also heard many Delta pilots were at his retirement party, gave him an airplane photo, etc. It was great working with him. "...and you have a great day gentlemen!"
Many years ago (30yrs or so) there was a guy in EWR tower we worked with named Bill, lots of fun working with him too.
