Barnett Sussman

April 16, 1927 - April 17, 2020

Barnett 'Buster' Sussman passed peacefully in Camarillo, California at 93. He lived in the communities of San Francisco, Pasadena, Healdsburg, Sherman Oaks, and Burbank, among others. He was an Army Corps World War II veteran who served in Brazil, a graduate in Journalism from USC, and a writer for a multitude of newspapers including the LA Times. He was an idea man, always striving to connect diverse cultural groups for the common good. A prolific artist, and beloved family man, his familiar savings such as "very good, very good", and "congratulations" lifted the spirits of all around him. Congratulations on a "lavish" life!
