Robert C. (Buster) Appel, Jr.

Mary Lou,

Our thoughts and prayers are for you and your family. We were shocked to hear the sad news. He was truly a great person. The members of the Washington County Genealogical Society will surely miss him. He was always so friendly and helpful. May God Bless you and your family.

President,
Washington County Genealogical Society

Mrs. Appel, Luanne, Martin, Andrew, Grace, Anna, and Caroline,

We only met Mr. Appel a few times, but felt like we knew him so well. He was so friendly and outgoing and we just wanted to share that with all of you. Our son Jake, being a friend of Andrews, thoroughly enjoyed him while visiting with Andrew up at the "cabin" in Brenham for Andrews birthday when they were younger and just last summer. I know he will be missed, but will be with each and everyone of you in heart, soul, and spirit forever.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Love,

The Hoffmans,

Steve, Sabrah, Jake, Luke and Savannah

Please accept the heartfelt condolences of our family to yours. Our family, the City of Brenham, and our community of Washington County will greatly miss Buster. His deep devotion to, and respect for, the community were evident throughout his life. His contributions to the development and enrichment of the community are not yet fully recognized, but many of the projects he envisioned and began will continue to strengthen the fabric of our community for years to come.
There is not a time I can remember when I did not know Buster. He still called me by my childhood name. I am honored to have been counted among his friends. I will miss his advice and counsel on which I placed great value.

Luanne, Martin and Mary Lou:

This is one huge loss to all that knew Kid. He was like the father I never had and was the one that always kept me in line as Luanne and I grew up. Kid was the one that I knew I could go to if I had a problem or needed advice on just about anything. I will never forget him or the family. I send all of you my love and will always keep Kid in my heart.

Mary Lou, You are in my prayers. Wish I was there to hold your hand during this time....Love you....

Dear Mary Lou & Family:

God bless you.

In love and sympathy,
E.M. & Lou
