Buster Pool died unexpectedly of a heart attack in April of 1999 when he was only 56. Buster had an innate ability to laugh through life’s challenges, and both he and his infectious sense of humor were beloved by all who knew him. As a lasting legacy to Buster’s memory, his widow, Babs Weaver Pool, created this Fund to benefit graduating seniors of his alma mater, Meridian High School, in his hometown of Meridian, Mississippi.
