My love,prayers and condolences go out to the Maud Family. Having lost my dear husband, Don, In oct of this years, I know your fellings and nimbness. I remember the last time I saw Bucky; I was working in the men's dept. at Jacome's in Tucson. This man kept following me around, he finally sat down in the shoe dept and I walked over to him and asked if I could help him. He looked at me and said "You don't know me do you? My response was no, I don't believe I do. He then grinned that Bucky Grin and said I'm Bucky Maud. I was embarrassed not to have recognized him ,but we did have a nice talk. It was good to see him.

"One of my memories of him is of 1957, when he bought my Mom’s ‘50 Plymouth, a dull grey 4-door sedan. At the time I wondered what a cool guy was doing buying an such an under powered, six cylinder, ugly, ugly, car, suitable only for an old lady.”

“The next time I saw it, it was really good looking. He had really fixed it up nicely, souped up the motor, painted it a bright color, chopped the top, re-upholstered the interior, and converted it to a 'cool' teenagers car.”

The loss of Bucky is very sad news. Although I have seen him only once in the last 45 years, he will be missed. We met in the 5th grade and he was sweet even then. My thoughts and prayers are for all of his family. Sincerely, Shirley

Estelle and family, Our last dinner with you and Bucky here inTucson was a perfect evening. Bucky was sharp as a tack, as usual, and I will remember his 'naughty' stories. We will always have our great memories and now we are thinking of ways to share with you. Love you Estelle Lois
