The Real Buffalo Joe Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20161017&content_id=206363284&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_t422 This news makes me really sad. Larry was a staple at Bisons games, as well as Sabres, Bandits, and any other event at the Aud/Arena. He always had a smile on his face. And when I worked for the Bisons,and after, he always gave me free peanuts, whenever I saw him at either venue. Funny thing is, I don't really like peanuts. But he was so happy to give them to me, I took them and ate them anyway. Edited October 18, 2016 by The Real Buffalo Joe
Just Jack Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Sometimes it's the little people in an organization that can make it the most fun place to go. There was an usher at a movie theater here, always made you feel welcomed when you were there. Then the movie theater closed. Luckily he was picked up by another location in the chain, and he is still there today working, although the link below says he retired. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2013/05/long-time_greeter_at_syracuse-.html
Corp000085 Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Was this the same guy that sold peanuts out of a cart in front of the Aud? RIP...

stevewin Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 Wonder if the Earl of Bud is still with us...
plenzmd1 Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 Wonder if the Earl of Bud is still with us... Not sure..but that late 80's period of conehead, earl, peanut guy, butcher dude..kinda cool time when you think about it. Funny story..my Sabres seasons right out of college were 1st row of Orange...first time my Mom went to game with me, beer vendor for my section brought me a Christmas present. Yep Mom, i buy enough beer that the guy brought me a Christmas present!
