My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I have had the pleasure of working with Pastor Busch as one of the assisting ministers at Christ Lutheran. He was a Godly man, true in spirit and he had a wonderful sense of humor. I will miss his presence at church gatherings.
God Bless you, the family of Pastor Busch.
