Add Memories, Stories & Photos about William

Bill Buchta was my Dad.
He was an amazing dad, and wonderful grandfather to my 2 children (Cynthia and Gregory). He was an amazing person... a great dad, a fun dad... and all around awesome person. When I was growing up, dad's work day ended early enough to be home when I got home from school. He would often go to the American Legion Post 12 in Norwalk, CT. He was a Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne during WWII and injured in the Battle of the Bulge. Dad was a short order cook at Curley's Diner in Stamford, CT for many years. He was always fun. He and mom enjoyed going out to dinner, and having friends over to the house. I didn't have to be home for my friends to visit. They all enjoyed spending time with my parents. There isn't a day that goes by that Dad (and Mom) aren't in my thoughts. They are both always missed.
