BufferÂ’s fame has reunited him with long lost family members. In 1989, Buffer was contacted by his birth father after having seen him on television, who introduced him to his half-brothers.[7] In the mid-1990s, Buffer brought on one of his half-brothers, Bruce, as his agent/manager. This grew into a business partnership to increase licensing productivity of the trademark. ahhh kind of like a There will be Blood thing! :think
