Heres to You Buzz
Words from Larry Lange and photos from brother Paul Quesnell
Buzz Quesnell left Seattle, but not for long.
In late 2013 he moved to California, where he could be close to his brother and a longtime friend. Buzz was suffering
from dementia; he couldn’t manage his affairs, and needed attention.
Last Thanksgiving Day he died at a Vista, Calif., assisted living center, where he’d been living for just over a year. He
was 66.
But in a manner of speaking, he’ll be returning soon to Puget Sound, where he grew up and where he’d been active in
the Puget Sound Regional Group before moving away and taking his trademark red 1937 Ford pickup with him. Family
and friends have arranged to hold a memorial service on June 27 at the old Hangar 30 at Magnuson Park, to make sure
all of Buzz’s many friends can attend. The following day, his ashes will be scattered over Puget Sound near Camano
Island.
“People all over knew Buzz. That’s just the way it was,” said brother Paul Quesnell.
Walter J. “Buzz” Quesnell was born June 3, 1948, in Seattle. The son of Seattle firefighter Walter E. “Chico” Quesnell
and homemaker Ina Quesnell, he earned the nickname “Buzz” from an aunt who made buzzing sounds to calm him when
he cried as an infant. “He’d laugh and stop being fussy, so they called him Buzz,” his brother said.

He attended University Heights and Sacajawea elementary Schools, Jane Addams Middle School and Nathan Hale High
School, where he graduated in 1966.
His lifelong passions were football and teaching. A stocky 6-feet-4 inches tall, he towered over other family members and
friends. He played football at Nathan Hale High School { Where Pam Generaux and Mark Keenholts also attended} and
was on the 1965 squad that played, unsuccessfully, for a city championship. He enrolled at the University of Washington
and played football there his freshman year but was not retained for his sophomore year, so he changed colleges.
Below, left Thanksgiving morning 1965... the Nathan Hale Raiders football team was meeting the Queen Anne team for the city championship.
Below right, Buzz was on the UW football team during his freshman year. Fall 1966.
He continued playing football as a defensive tackle at Western Washington University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in education. He began teaching in the 1970s for Seattle Public Schools by substituting and taking
temporary assignments. After being permanently hired he taught math and physical education, mostly at middle schools.
“He loved working with kids,” said Claudia Attebery,(cq) a high-school classmate. He had a seemingly endless supply of
friends. His brother joked that it could take Buzz 20 minutes to traverse Northgate Mall because as he walked “he’d get
stopped by someone he knew.”
He kept his hand in organized athletics; from time to time he was an assistant football coach at several Seattle high
schools, and he coached the Seattle Police football team for several of its annual “bacon-bowl” contests against the Tacoma cops’ team. He was president of a weightlifting club in Ballard. Although he left the UW, he was a regular football
season ticket holder for Husky games in later years.
And he kept others laughing. He’d interrupt the high school class comedian by predicting his punch lines. Once at Dick’s
Drive-in Buzz got someone to stick a milkshake lid in a buddy’s hamburger. Classmate Gloria Rubens remembered him
“from when I worked at the Lake City movie theater. Gary and Buzz were hilarious and always kept me in stitches.”
When he wasn’t tickling peoples’ funny bones Buzz was amazing them with his ability to consume large amounts of food.
“He loved Dick’s french fries and chocolate shakes,” said
Gary Whittlesey, a friend of 60 years, but that was just the start. Buzz entered pie- and pizza-eating contests during his
younger years and won one competition by eating five 16-inch pizzas in 10 minutes. At the 13 Coins, Buzz would order a
6-egg fritata and eat it all. One night during his college days at Western, he downed 12 bottles of Cold Duck champagne.
Please see page 6 for more

There were other escapades. After Buzz bought Whittlesey’s mother’s 1973 Cadillac the two guys would ride it together.
“His favorite thing was to drive down the freeway about 80 miles an hour,” Whittlesey said. “Then he’d step on the gas
and the tires would just smoke.”
The ’37 pickup came into the family in the early 1960s, when his Chico took it in payment for remodeling work he’d done.
Paul remembers the truck was “totally a rusted-out hulk” powered by a Lincoln engine. Later, the elder Quesnell put the
truck through a second restoration -- painting it, installing a correct engine and scouting out other original parts. Buzz inherited the truck when his dad died in 1999. Buzz never drove it much; his body was too bulky to fit between the steering
wheel, the pedals and the seat. Acquaintances usually drove the rig and took him for rides. Buzz had PSRG’s Gary Duff
do some followup mechanical work .
Below left Buzz’s dad in 1963 with the 1937 truck, below right Buzz with the same 37’ truck in March 2014 in Carlsbad ca
He had the Cadillac and a Ford Ranger pickup, his regular “driver,” but he built special garage space for the ’37. It reminded of his days riding the truck with his dad. “He idolized his father his whole life,” Whittlesey said.
Buzz retired from teaching in 2004 after 30 years and became a regular at PSRG meetings and events. He served on
the club’s board of directors in 2010.
Sadly, by 2012 he was showing signs of dementia. He hadn’t been paying his bills or answering mail, and he was forgetting appointments. His encyclopedic memory for football statistics disappeared. He was moved to the Aegis Senior Living facility in Shoreline. In November of 2013 he moved to the Vista Gardens assisted living facility in Vista, Calif., closer
to his brother in Palm Springs and to Whittlesey in nearby Carlsbad. The Vista facility was better suited to Buzz: filled of
activities, secured by a wrought-iron fence and designed with enough room space to hold a bed big enough for him.
By last November he was in hospice care, being seen three times each week at Vista Gardens by specialized nurses.
“Coherent speech is difficult; walking is barely shuffling,” his brother wrote to Buzz’s old classmates on Facebook. Buzz
had been taking falls. “He can’t shower or dress himself,” his brother wrote. There were “panic attacks; outrageous anger
outbursts….the past few months have not been good.” As his mind slowly shut down his body functions, he suffered two
heart attacks during the last seven days of his life. The hospice doctor said the second one, on Nov. 27, was fatal.
Whittlesey and Buzz’s brother looked after him in his last year. Whittlesey visited him almost daily at Vista Gardens.
After Buzz came to Southern California he had the ’37 pickup shipped there, as well, so he could continue riding it. Wittlesey drove it, taking his old pal on drives to get him outside. They cruised the California beaches, stopped for burgers and
milkshakes, took in car shows and stopped by the Biggs Harley Davidson dealership in San Marco, Calif. Buzz enjoyed
seeing other old cars and the pickup was a hit with other enthusiasts.
Please see page 7 for more

During drives to the ocean they’d honk at girls in bikinis. It was their last bit of fun together.
When Buzz died quietly on Thanksgiving Day, Whittlesey and his wife Sharon were with him at his bedside at Vista Gardens. In June his ashes will be scattered near the west-facing shore of Camano Island where his parents lived in retirement. The truck will stay in California.
Even when his body and brain were giving him trouble Buzz managed to maintain his playful spirit. “His face lights up
when I walk in the room and he can still crack a joke worthy of any gym locker room,” his brother wrote in November. “I’m
glad I had a chance to see him at Shoreline,” said another acquaintance, Don Swanson. “He was always in good humor.”
A host of others have similar memories. When Paul wrote his Facebook post in November, nearly four dozen acquaintances and friends of Buzz responded.
The occasion reminded them of how he’d kept in touch with them. Valerie Monaco said she was “remembering and cherishing his sense of humor and his phone calls once a year.” A time hasn’t been announced yet for the June 27 memorial
but friends and family arranged for the hangar location because they expect a big crowd.
“Buzz was a people person and also one that loved a good prank,” Attebery said. “He could bend your ear for hours. (He)
was a good friend to have. Buzz is going to be missed by so many.” Below Buzz and Gary in California
Buzz and I met when we turned out for the then new Nathan Hale high school football team in 1963. We lost
all our games that first year !
Buzz’s dad watched us practice while sitting in his 1937 Ford pickup. it was a pea green back then.
I lost track of Buzz after college. I was floored to see him sitting at my very first V/8 meeting in 2001. His dad
had restored the truck to original with a beautiful red cab and black fenders.
Since Buzz was too big to fit behind the steering wheel, I became the driver and caretaker of the truck. I
added turn signals so we could run after dark.
As Buzz’s mental and physical health faded, his brother moved him from Seattle to California where he lived. I
said so long to Buzz and shipped the red pickup south in a car carrier.

$___________ $___________ $___________ Floyd Clymer is an old time auto person who wrote a number of books. He wrote a series of Historical Motor
Scrapbooks which included advertisements for old cars, accessories and miscellaneous. This one,#8 was
published in 1955 but the ads etc go back to the teens. Anyway, the following is not entitled as an Ode to Bill
Steil ,but seems it should be!
MY FORD
I love my Ford; it gave to me
The mountains and the trees,
The flowers of the field, the wild bird’s song,
The ocean’s cooling breeze.
It burst the bars that formed my city cell
And set me free to wander where I would;
It hurried and brought back my fleeting youth,
And made me feel that living still is good
And oh, I hope that should the time e’er come,
When I must yield aught of my modest hoard
That it may be my house, my land, my clothes
But not my precious Ford!
Poem is from Floyd Clymer’s Historical Motor Scrapbook and is dated 1922. It is unsigned.
Thanks to Bob Heckel

Sunshine Report for February
With the Hawk’s win yesterday it is somewhat easier
to have a “Sunshine” report. I hope we will be celebrating another Hawk’s win in SB 49.
Again most of us are doing OK with what we have,
some colds, the flu (I don’t recall the flu as ugly as I
had last week) going around and the rest of the stuff.
Ron C and Dave E both went to the repair station
in Everett for some fixing of things related to being
pre-WWII vintage folks. Both reported to be on the
mend and expect full recovery shortly.
