We had the pleasure of knowing and working with Buck many times during his years of service with VSC. Buck had been in to see us just a couple of days before we lost him. We held Buck in highest regard with great respect for his extensive knowledge and wonderful work ethic. It was a sad day in all of our lives and we will surely miss him.

Rest in peace Buck, you are missed by all.

I worked with Buck at DuPont off and on for several years and I am sorry he is gone. He could have retired years ago, but I guess he loved what he was doing. God Bless.

Robin, Betty and family please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your brother. Being with the Lord is far better than what this world has to offer and there is the promise of seeing him again in eternal Glory.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. It's been a while, but I worked with Buck on many occassions through Philip Morris. God Bless you all.
