Well its been a little lonely this week so far, I didn't know that I would miss My Rooney as much as I do at first when he first started staying with us he was good company to me and after It was like he was more than company he was like my best friend we would sit out on the back deck and talk, listen to the radio and talk about everything, to tell you the truth there was a lot I didn't understand.He was a very intelligent man I knew he was smart for his brother is my husband and I know just how smart he is , sometimes to smart for his good . I got to talk to Buck everyday and I loved the time we shared the times we would smoke them cigarettes on the back deck. But those day are gone but I will always have my memories , so Rooney I can see you in your field of wild flowers and beautiful shade trees with all your friends and family having the best reunion ever. I love you save a place for me.

I am sorry for your loss. I understand that he did things on his own terms and faced his fear head on. What a wonderful testament of courage and strength to you as you remember him in your own way. God bless Buck and those that love him.

Buck was my uncle and he meant more to me than he probably realized. He had a gentle side to him that few ever saw. He was a kind and generous individual and he was devoted to those he loved. He lived his life exactly how he wanted to and never made excuses for himself. He was a man of integrity which is rare in this day and age. He will be dearly missed for years to come.
