Buck was a great person and a fantastic baseball player at Hampton. A very vivid memory which I still have of Buck is his beautiful full smile with 32 perfect white teeth. Many blessings to his family

I graduated with "Buck" from I C Norcom High School in 1956. We were very close friends during those school days. We played sports together. Over the years after leaving Portsmouth and joining the military I did,nt see him again. But I always asked about him when coming back to Portsmouth. My friends kept me up to date as to his wereabout. My condolence go out to his family at this time of sadness. Joe Mitchell
