I was deeply saddened to learn of Buck's passing. Although time and distance had separated us, I have always kept a warm spot in my heart for Buck. Some of the fondest memories in my life were made with Buck at Paradise, Quincy and just going out for a beer together. I was blessed to know him, and privileged to call him my friend. My sympathies to Lynn, his family, and those whose lives he made brighter, as he did mine.

May The Lord comfort you, his family, and all of us who were fortunate enough to know Buck. He had the kindest heart and sweetest spirit. I used to skydive with him and I remember how kind he was to me and everyone. Buck made this world a better place!
