To All Members:

It is with great sadness we have been informed that Helga Buffington, wife of SFAAC Treasurer, Robert (Bob) Buffington, passed on March 7, 2024.  Helga worked closely and tirelessly with Bob to make every event sponsored by the South Florida All Airborne Chapter a success. She assisted in events such as, but not limited to, South Florida All Airborne Days, SFAAC Annual Banquet, annual picnics, and our monthly in-person meetings.  She attended most of our meetings.  She will be missed dearly.   

SFAAC extends its condolences to Bob and the Buffington family.  The following is an in-person Memorial Service arrangement that will be held on March 16, 2024, to honor the life of Helga Buffington:
