No mention of family. Did he have wife/children?

Went to UofL at the same time as Doug Buffone. A great person and football player. Went to Podiatry School in Chicago the year after Doug was drafted by the Bears. Guys would come to Chicago from Louisville to go to the Bear games. We would all meet Doug after the game. Was always a great ambassador for the Ville. Today the Chicago Sun Times did a wonderful tribute to Doug. The University of Louisville mentioned often in regards to the records he set at the Ville

I was a huge Chicago fan back in the sixties and seventies. Dick Butkus was my football hero back then and I love watch Doug play football too. They made a great tandem. RIP.
