    Hello. I am looking for a year of death for Frank E. Buffmire for a project on lithographs that he will be included in with proper information. If you have this information and could send me a reply, it would be appreciated.
    Thank you very much,

    Hello
    I saw your inquiry about the year of death for Frank E Buffmire. He died in
    1963. The family lived in Alexandria VA, Hollen Hills.
    His son, who I knew in High school, David Buffmire died in 2014. You could
    try looking up David’s wife (named Vickie, I never met her ) or sister, Lisa
    (I never knew her either), for exact information. I believe they both live
    in VA.
    In the 1970’s, Frank’s wife let our local library display some of his paint=
