Ou hearts are broken to know that Buck is gone. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy for your loss. May God give you strength and comfort as you journey through the process of grief. We loved Buck. He was a wonderful person and a terrific friend. When he was in the neighborhood, he loved to stop by for a cup of strong hot coffee and chat for a few minutes. Those are special fond memories we will cherish. And wow – could he hit a golf ball. He loved the game and he was really good at it. Those were fun times too. His life will be celebrated but his loss will be deeply felt.

I was deeply saddened by the news about Buck. I am so very sorry.
Buck was such a kind soul, who will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
May God bless you and your family during this time and always. You and your family are in my thoughts and my prayers.
As a builder, I always liked surrounding myself with the best contractors I could find. Buck, you were the best I could find. Not only were you the best contractor I could find, you became my Best Friend. We spent many weekends playing golf together; and for about fifteen years running, we took a Myrtle Beach golf trip with some of our close friends. Buck was always there to put a smile on our faces. Between fishing, golf, work and friendship – you were the best. I was waiting for when the day came when our son Tanner was old enough and good enough to play golf with you & the big guys. Tanner really looked up to you as a golfer. You were loved by our family, Tanner, Josh, Jenni & Curtis. You were a good friend to my mother, Mary, who will also miss you. You are very special to us and you will be missed very much but you will always be remembered in our hearts. We feel the pain your family feels with their loss. Our hearts go out to you. You know where to find us if there’s anything we can do now or later. Mike & Tina

We are so saddened to hear of Buck’s passing! He was loved and respected by many people here in Fawn Lake. He would frequently spend a little time on our back deck when he was in the neighborhood. His golf game was very impressive and he truly had a love of the game. He will be missed by many.

Buck was a true friend. I always had builders questions for him and no matter how mundane they were, he always took time to explain and put me on the right path. Besides his builders competence he was an outstanding golfer. I remember playing with him on several occasions but one stands out. It was at Meadows Farms and Buck and I were playing as a team along with two of his good friends. This was my first experience with seeing someone drive the ball 300 yds. Also he could putt. Although that day from about 10ft we took 4 putts and 4 mulligans to sink the putt. We all had a good laugh about that. We will truly miss his positive outlook. We all have lost a great friend. My wife remembers all the times we chatted together and how proud he was of his family. He is often brought up in conversations with our friends and will be remembered in a loving way. Our sincere sympathy for your family’s great loss. Wayne and Gaye
