William H.T. "Bucky" Bush

Bucky Bush was one of my 2LT'S IN THE 586TH Engineer Co at Fort Ben; GA in 1958-1960. I was the company commander at that time, Bucky's wife was Patty Bush, they had 2 children. It was an indeed fun, happy time, particularly when father Prescott Bush (CT senator) came to visit us at holiday time. We have lost track of each other over the years. My memories of "Buck" remain strong as I traveled frequently to the St Louis area on Army business and we always got tother for tennis...

God is a God of all Comfort and he will Comfort the Family's..My condolences...

The death of the president, reminded me of my good friend Bucky some 50 years agoj. We both lived in Grenwich, he worked for Hartford and I was his client...he from Yale and I from Harvard graduated in the same year and were both on a fast track in our respective organizations. His warmth and sincerity produced a solid friendship that I deeply cherish as one of the highlights of my business career.

I remember Bucky from the 50's when he was a student at Hotchkiss where my father
was headmaster.

Dear family of Bucky Bush. He was one of my earliest clients (for sales training) when he was at Hartford National and then at Boatman's. He was among the very few who modeled caring deeply about clients, client's needs, and his sales force. Many spoke those words but few lived them. He was candid, caring, honest and a great learner and listener. Plus he and I loved Jim Croce. I lost track of him over the years but have good memories of a decent and high integrity person. The same went,...

Ironically Bucky has been in my thoughts lately. Only learned today of this sad news. He was a great friend, a generous "boss," brilliant conversationalist and extraordinarily kind person. I was blessed to have known you. Rest in Peace Dear Friend.

Round the Bend And Through the Narrow,
Bucky paddled on Straght as an Arrow.
And on this day, as we celebrate his life,
We know his guide again, is Patty, his wife.

With sorrow, joy and especially celebration, we portage on grateful to have lived in the same community with Bucky and Patty these many years.
A Keewaydin friend.

From George Capen Bitting to Bucky's family - Bucky was a younger friend of mine ever since we went to Keewaydin Camp together in the late 1940's, always a 'good man,' thankful for all his blessings, part of a great and proud American family, with good and strong St Louis roots. God Bless You, Buck, R.I.P.
