John and I worked together in the same office at the O&C Building at KSC for several years. He proved to be a joy to work with, a man of great integrity, honesty, and intelligence. It was a shock to discover that John has left us, but I will always have pleasurable memories of him and our relationship. Our hearts go out to John's family at this sad time. With heartfelt sympathy, Ed and Raymonda Luginbuhl.

To John Buckley's wife, children and family - Although he will be greatly missed in this lifetime, because of your deep faith you know you'll be reunited again in Heaven. While working at KSC/NASA I had the honor or knowing him. He was greatly respected and looked up to by all who knew him.

Helen (and family) May you only think of wonderful times together. As my Catholic Irish mother, who was born in Dublin would say - I am sure God is pleased with his arrival.
John was a wonderful man, and he will be missed.
Love to you, Joan & Mitch Needelman

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Helen and the Buckley family. Working at the City of Melbourne when John was our Mayor was a delightful time. I fondly remember his willingness to mentor children at University Park Elementary with many of us who volunteered. Watching John with the child he was given was always such a joy! He had so much patience and love for them all. John called many of us employees by our first names and always took the time to say hello. My prayers are with you that you will find great peace in the days ahead just knowing that John is in God's presence. Please know how much of an impact John's sweet spirit made on us. He will be missed greatly.

Pat, Helen and Buckley Family
It is rare in today's world to have a man in Public Office who is filled with such integrity, John was a man who was a great Catholic Irish gentleman who lived his faith everyday, worked to enhance the lives of others and touched so many with his wit and compassion. He is a great role model and a hero of the city. May all the warm memories of him help you in the days ahead. We hold you all in prayer.
With deepest sympathies

Thank you to all of my family and family's friends who have been so supportive and for all who attend the services in honor of my Dad. I personally want to recogonize not only Dr. Lisa Duhaine but the wonderful care givers from Vitas Hospice. Without them the battle my father fought would not have been managed in the manner he wished to spend his final days. They have been such a blessing to our family and we shall never forget. Dad will be greatly missed but will live on as a legend in our hearts and this community. Our Irish man is with God and we will meet again. Love Forever.
