God Bless you and may you rest in peace, Richard! Your request to not vote for Hillary has gone viral and millions will not vote for her! And that'd been a lot of floral arrangements! Comforting thoughts to your family as well as I'm sure they miss you.

I am going to respect Mr. Buckman's last wishes and not vote for Hillary Clinton. It would seem that he had a fine sense of humor and a keen political sense. Members of the family should feel no sadness in his passing as he obviously went in style.

My condolences to the Buckman family. God Bless you Richard and it is obvious that God has a comedy section in Heaven. Wish I had a chance to meet you in person but if I live a decent live, starting with not voting for Hillary, I will meet you in the Kingdom of God.

To the family of Mr. Buckman, I am so very sorry for your loss. I never had the pleasure of meeting your loved one, but I so wish that I had. His obituary and smiling face made it to my facebook page this morning and I laughed out loud. Had to look him up and send his family my condolences. And Mr. Buckman, I plan to follow your wishes...I will not be voting for Hillary.

To The family of Richard Buckman, First of all I want to say that I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with those that are grieving. I did not know this man but I wish that I had. He sounds like he was an amazing person with a great sense of humor. His obituary made it's way all the way over to Vermont where I had an opportunity to view it. As soon as I saw it I let out one of the best laughs of my lifetime & said to myself this guy was awesome! Please know that he can RIP knowing that I am one American that will definitely follow his final wish.

Dear Family of Richard Buckman:
I didn't know your Dad, Granddad, Great Granddad but I sure wish I had. A friend sent me a copy of his obituary. I hope it's not too inappropriate for me to write this but after seeing his smiling face and reading his obituary and seeing the part about "In Lieu of flowers...," I just had to find this Guest Book and THANK YOU for having such a sweet, funny and astute person in your family. I know he will be sorely missed. And I will definitely take his wise voting advice to heart !
Very sorry for your family's great loss.
Regards to all of you -
