Samuel E. "Buster" Mobley

Buster was our neighbor for the last 23 years. David and I will surely miss his quiet kindness and goodness. The last time I saw him at church, he was holding Travis's arm helping him walk to their Sunday School class. What an impression this made on me when I knew his own health was failing. This world needs more Christian men like Buster. Please know you all are in my prayers.

We were fortunate enough to have shared 23 years of our lives with a great man who was a shining example of quiet manners and a person who exhibited outstanding Christian values in his everyday life. He came into our family's lives following one of the darkest monents. He was a great husband to my mother-in law and treated her and all of our family with love and respect. Some of my fondest memories of Buster were the many days we spent together at his homestead in Village Mills during hunting season sharing stories of how he grew up as a little boy in Central Texas. How he served his Country in the Pacific, then came home and started his family while working as a machinist, then how he went about raising three daughters when his wife passed. In retrospect I think we had more fun sharing those stories than we did spending time in the woods hunting. Many would say that Buster was a man of few words, but when he did say something it was either positive or very funny. I can never recall hearing him say a dispariging thing about anyone, because thats not who he was. He was always willing to help others and would always have words of encouragement to share. Now many can say these words about the recently departed but all that knew him can attest to the truth of them. I am very grateful for the many years of knowing him. I am very grateful for the life lessons I have learned from hearing his stories. I will always think of his Christian example and how he carried himself, and I will like this World a whole lot less now that he is gone because Lord knows that we need more men like him here. Rest in Peace.

Buster you were the only grandpa I knew on my dads side but that didn't matter because I loved you so much. I'm gonna miss all your home grown foods from your garden and all the wonderful memories we had you were a blessing in my life and so many others. I know you are in heaven now with the Lord and that's a way better place then here. Rest in peace Buster we love you.

Cheryl, Pam and Tina

I have so many memories staying in Houston and Village Mills at Uncle Buster and Aunt Ann's homes. We had so much fun from riding horses down to Wildwood or just being around our big family on the farm. Uncle Buster was always so sweet to me with a big smile which accompanied his hospitality.

You sure were a kind man, Uncle Buster.

Sincerely,
Diane

Uncle Buster you'll always be loved and missed

Thinking of you all at this time of sorrow.

I have so many fond memories of Uncle Buster. His home was always open and he and Aunt Ann were the most generous of hosts. My most sincere condolences to Cheryl, Pam, Tina and Marilyn and the rest of the family. He will be remembered with great fondest and happy memories. May he rest in peace.

Buster you will be missed so much thank you for sharing your long lived life with me and the Eddins family. Thanks for sharing your gardening tips with me and the many joyous holiday's and family times together. Buster you never spoke out of place. But goodness when you did speak I was listening. You always just sat and listened.i'm going to miss visiting you and your old stories you use to share with me.You always talked about your girls and each one of them was a blessing in your life. God be with you to your journey home to be with our loving. Father. Praying for your family today my Father in law. That you may help them through this troublesome time.Amen

I remember Buster from long time back. I thought I remember meeting a Shaffer in the branch bottom long before I knew Buster. I worked 30 years with Eddie's dad Watsey. I seen Buster at the post office now and then and we chatted. This are fine family's from Hardin County. I think Buster had a pallet mill at one time in Village Mills. My granddad was Buster's neighbor 1/2 mile away. I'm calling Bro Dave Gardner and tell him of the treasure we lost and the good Lord gained. May Christ be with these family's.
