Carl Matthew “Matt” Buscha, age 78, passed away on February 1, 2013.
Matt was born on February 9, 1934 in Rabbs Prairie, Texas, to Herman Buscha and Elsa Giese Buscha. Matt married Margie Ruth Pietsch, of La Grange, in 1959.
Matt was a United States Army Veteran, after which he started his professional career as an instrumentation technician with Texas Instruments.

Calvary Lutheran Church in La Grange. Matt was a farmer and rancher, and actively involved with the church.
