Dan & Patricia Am sorry to hear of Mr. Buckley's passing. At dinner while visiting our Mom at Weinburg it was fun to review the good 'ol Gr. Island days with Mr. Buckley. If Sue & I arrived after dinner it was common to find Mr. Buckley playing cards with the quarters accumulating on his end of the table. He always had a smile and soon got back to the business of the card game.

Dearest Val,
I'm so sorry to hear about your father's passing. I do remember your dad as a straight shooter and real nice guy. I always thought He was cool because he had a neat place out by kissing bridge and two snowmobiles. My favorite was the one that went in reverse ( Evenrude I think) because I couldn't keep it out the ditches.
My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Love Neal

Mom (Nancy), Bill, Dan, and Val,
We are so sorry for your loss. Grandpa was very special to all of us! Not only was he the best grandfather, he was a great mentor, an educator and one whose advice will be passed on to our own children. Grandpa's constant pursuit of excellence will continue to be with all of us and will never be forgotten. We are all very special to have known such a great man.
With great love,
Rob, Alison and Ava Valone
