Hi Karolyn....Ernie Dupuis, Walter Collins and I all had our thoughts toward Bucky at the Key West World Championship powerboat races last week. Buck sure loved it there. Walt had a nice tribute to Bucky painted on the sides of the boat they rode in so many times. We could just feel his spirit there, and we missed him a lot. See enclosed photos. Joal

Hi again Karolyn, I just had to add this about "Bucky." I remember he used to call me Cecil B. DeMille, because I took so many photographs, even at the track. So I just want to add a pix to the "Photo Gallery" in honor of a friend. I also want to say the last time we were together is when Leo came to the shop......we embraced and spoke of old times together, my prayers are with you.

Dearest Karolyn, yesterday I just found out from Ernie Dupuis what had happened to Leo...........I am so sorry Karolyn. I first met Leo at Texas Instruments in 1966 when he became my helper. We had many laughs together. The weekend of the accident we were in Bar Harbor Maine for the week and never knew what happened. I surely would have been there to visit and encourage you both. I would love to stop and visit with you sometime. Please share our condolences with your family. May God be with you Karolyn, lean on Him for your comfort. With Warmest Regards,
Dan & Sue Wright

We thought of you Dad with lots of love on Father's Day, as we do everyday. The kids made Leo a stepping stone to put in front of our lighthouse that stands tall in your honor. On it reads "A TOWER OF STRENGTH" - he has become a tower of strength as you were.

I remember last Mother's Day...it was so beautiful out and Leo and I and Dad were sitting on the deck listening to Dad talk about the barges that came thru and where they would be going....he loved that house so much. Dad I miss you so very much, I miss your smile... I would see you, you would smile and say "hi sweetheart!" Leo has that same smile, it gives me chills when I see it. He has so many qualities of you in him its amazing. He can even sound like you when he speaks some times. He misses you so much........

Karolyn, I was extremely shocked and saddened to hear about Leo. I just found out this past weekend thru an email from an old friend who lives in Florida. Leo had such a zest for life and was always a joy to talk to whenever I saw you at the club. You were both such wonderful people and I feel honored to have known you for so many years. I can't even imagine what you are going through. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you in this very difficult time. I hope you are recovering well from your injuries and trying to find some sense of peace in knowing that Leo truely loved you and enjoyed his life to the fullest. You are a great lady and I know that you'll get thru this. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. All my love.

While walking life’s journey we find ourselves sharing paths with others just outside our immediate family. Some of these simply become acquaintances, while with some there is a bond that grows and a friendship develops. In rare cases this friendship grows to unmatched levels. This person is not just a friend they have become your “Best Friend”.
This is the relationship I shared with Leo for many years. It didn’t matter if we were installing performance parts on customer’s cars in Central Falls, riding through the woods on dirt bikes, prepping our cars to run on 295 (Wow ! the stories we could tell from those adventures) or our weekly trek to New England Dragway, we were together.
Karolyn, God bless you for your patience as I look back there were times where I had become just short of a household item in your home.
Leo’s bond provided my life with whole new dimensions; we taught and learned and grew from and with each other.
Throughout our entire ventures one thing that always impressed me was Leo’s sense of direction. His family was #1 and would always be his highest priority.
As we continued down life’s path we approached a fork in the road. It was here that we each took different directions, although never losing sight of our past. As time went on I would always look forward to family gatherings or functions as I knew at some point we would pull up chairs or stand at bar together and reminisce about anything and everything.
They say “everything in life happens for a reason”; Leo your family, friends and Linda and I will struggle for a long time trying to rationalize this event. You have however left all of us with strong memories which will help us adjust as we share these with one another.
God bless you on your current journey and when ours paths intersect again we will pull up those chairs and reminisce once again.
Your friend always,
“Fast Ed” Clark

Dear Bro;
This was my first Christmas without you. I went to church in the morning and was taken back by my emotions. I was flooded with memories of when we were kids especially when I watched a big brother nudge his little sister to keep moving toward the priest to receive communion. It brought a smile to my face and huge sadness knowing that I won’t be getting that physical nudge from you again.
I know life is a series of letting go and beginning again and that you inadvertently chose a prayer card that reads "miss me but let me go". I say the words to myself everyday and try to picture you saying them to me. I also read the saying on the prayer card and try to follow the words to reach out to friends and loved ones to help me begin a life without you. I just know it will take time to "let you go". Love you, Sis

I have known Leo for 10 years but it's only been a couple of years that I've really gotten to bond to Leo. We use to spend many hours sitting on his deck staring at the ocean and talking about business, trucks, and life. I couldn't wait for him and Karolyn to call us and say, come down for a drink. Now there is a void there. Every time I think of him I fill up and can't believe it or understand why. Times will never be the same again. I miss you. Mike

I think back at all the memories that we have made over the years, and boy do we have alot of memories. I'm still having the hardest time believing that you're gone. I really miss our special times on you're beautiful deck just talking about different things having great cocktails, having so many laughs. It doesn't seem possible that those days are gone forever. But we will always have those beautiful memories to remember. The last few years were so special to me. We really bonded more than any other time. I'm really gonna miss those times with you and Karolyn and me and Mike. Life has changed a great deal since you've gone. Life will never be the same. But someday we will all be together again and we will just take over where we left off. You're at peace now. Love you and miss you so very much, Your cousin, Sandy

Leo, I've know and loved you and (admit as a small girl hanging around with your little sister) having a big crush on you, we miss you so much.. As a grown up remembering all the fun times and parties and lip sinc contests and the special "calendar" you made to surprise us at Christmas that you stole from your sisters camera(shame on you). I remember your hearty laugh and all the fun times we've shared with you and Caroline and Guy and I and Linda and Al and the whole crew. These are embedded in our souls and we miss you and love you. I know you are with God in heaven and you and Mike are having a beer and toasting all the good times for you to come. Be Happy our friend, Much love Dianne and Guy

Bucky, I am still struggling to mentally grasp that you have gone. For the last 20 years, since we first knew one another, we have been brothers, sharing so many experiences, laughter, and, yes, even the occasional cocktails. Whether over dinner, or working in the garage on our motors, on the water or on the Harleys, we never had a bad word. Only mutual trust, respect, and love. I keep expecting you to come walking thru my door. A day does not go by that I do not think of you and sorely miss you. I cannot erase your number from my phone........and I won't, until we speak again. Peace, brother. 143

Brother;
This has been one of those trying days where I had to fight back the thoughts of missing you and wanting to cry. I can not imagine the approaching holidays without you. I keep thinking of last Christmas when I saw you at Mom and Dad's with you new shirt on. I can picture your face and body language like yesterday. You loved showing me the back of the shirt with the reindeer sleigh. I loved how you soaked up the attention. I don't ever want to forget your silly little "smirk". there will never be another you and that brings me such sorrow. love you forever, sis

I know that Bucky is missed by all. At this time of the year the loss will be magnified by seeing so many enjoying the holidays and family. Try to remember the good times and the attitude Bucky would like everyone who knew him to keep. He was a man of family, a man of good work ethic and a man who enjoyed life. As hard as it may be to look beyond the loss and your sadness, remember how Bucky took pleasure in life and family and try to celebrate in that vein. The loss is great, the pain is deep, but remember how he lived his life and try to feel his love, especially at this time of year. Remember that his legacy and spirit is still with you all and will live in your hearts and minds forever.

A reading from the second letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians 5:1, 6-10
Our Bodies are like tents that we live in here on earth. But when these tents are destroyed, we know that God will give each of us a place to live. These homes will not be buildings that someone has made, but they are in heaven and will last forever.
So always be cheerful. We know that as long as we are in these bodies we are away from the Lord. But we live by faith, not by what we see. We should be cheerful, because we would leave these bodies and be at home with the Lord. But whether we are at home with the Lord or away from him, we still try our best to please him. After all, Christ will judge each of us for the good or the bad that we do while living in these bodies.
The Word of the Lord.
Uncle Leo, I will miss you always...143
Love always and forever, Sherri-Lee

Dear Bro;
I missed you so much on thanksgiving. I said "grace" in your memory. I smiled at how when we were kids you were the "chosen one" to say it every holiday. I know at times you wanted to pass it on to me but I refused always fearful I would make a mistake or just not say it as good as you. Well now you must be saying "it's about time" that I have taken over the prayer and will continue to say it till we meet again (then it's back to you!). Love you forever bro.
"Bless us o lord and these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord. Amen"

Dear bro;
today is two months since you have been gone. It has been a very sad day. We brought Karolyn home yesterday and stayed over with her last night. The house is soooo empty without you. With every crack and crevice your voice can be heard. How you loved that house and living by the water. I watched the sunrise and thought how much you awed to see it. This will be a very heavy week without you. Karolyn will stay in the house alone for the first time tonite. It saddens me so much to see her sorrow. I hope that our faith and your spirit will help us through this heavy sorrow. I miss you terribly..........love you bro,

Dear Dad,
Today at work I opened the first of many calendars we get from businesses at the end of the year. I was taken back for this one was a lighthouse calendar. Of all things...I could feel you looking down saying think of me everyday you look up at this calendar, which I will hang in my office. Thank you Dad! 1 - 4 - 3

dear bro;
It has been one month since you have gone to your maker. The days go by, the world moves on, people come and go and some days are harder than others. It is hard to think ahead because life without you seems to hard to bear. My only existance has always been with you in my life. I'm so unsure of not having you physically here to protect me. My one source of comfort is my faith and believing that you will continue to watch out for all of us. Perhaps now it will be even easier for you because you can see everything with an eagle's view. I love you, big brother.
Thumbs up Papa!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

143 and the 'I Love You' Lighthouse, Minot's Ledge
The 'I Love You' or 'I Miss You' lighthouse is perched facing out into the Atlantic, on the exposed Minot's Ledge — named after George Minot, an 18th-Century Boston Merchant who lost a valuable ship on the rocks prior to construction of the lighthouse. The ledge is part of the Cohasset Rocks, off Massachusetts, USA.
When, in 1894, a new flashing lantern was installed in the 34-year-old lighthouse it had a 1-4-3 sequence and very soon the number sequence was taken to represent 'I Love You' or 'I Miss You' (I /1 flash, Love /4 flashes, You /3 flashes). Over the years this simple lighthouse code has been a comfort to sailors from the area, their sweethearts and families. The story is now widely known and the code is much loved for itself.
We hope you admire the Lighthouse, remember the code (143) and think of Leo (Bucky).
Sister Kathee c/o St. Mary's Parish
October 17, 2008
The lighthouse is one of the few structures in our world that contain all the elements of life.
Water comes to the edge of Earth, then the structure soars into the Air, and at the top is the Light(Fire).
In this symbol all the elements meet. All the elements must be there for the lighthouse to function in its role.
The role of the lighthouse is Protector. Standing tall with strength it soars into the sky...at its top a beacon of light, a beacon of hope for all who see it. In its strength it is also protector, guardian and defender. It watches over all who are drawn to its light. It is so fitting that Leo (Bucky) be a collector of Lighthouses, for was he not all these things; protector, guardian and defender, for you, his family and friends.
Looking inside the Lighthouse we see the steps in a spiral staircase, going around the lighthouse. Each of you are a step in that staircase, a step in Leo's life. This is the circle of life....family and friends entering Leo's life, becoming a part of Leo, helping him to climb the staircase of life. And so we climb and then there is a landing when life seems to smooth out, and then the climb begins again, the struggles, the ups and downs, but we climb through the pain, always looking to the light.
Ultimately we reach the top of the Lighthouse, the Light, the external Flame. It is here that we are once again home with God. The circle is complete. We are home in the loving hands of God, who formed us and guided us throughout our life.
Leo was a tower of strength for all of you. When you see a Lighthouse, think of him, say a small prayer to him and for him.
Take comfort that Leo is now with his God, who created him in love, so that he could love all of you. May he rest in peace.
Sincerely,
Sister Kathee

Karolyn, Leo III, Tammy, and family:
It has taken me some time to get here and write my condolenses because I just can't seem to accept that Bucky isn't physically with us anymore. I think of you all often and wish you peace and comfort. I will always remember Bucky as another father figure in my life. I hold many memories close to my heart from the store and racing. His smile will forever be etched in my heart.

My Big Brother........
From the very beginning he was put in charge of watching out for Bobby and me. I'm sure at times it wasn't a lot of fun for him and perhaps burdensome, however he never let it be known to us. He took his position as Big Brother and wore it like a badge of honor, reading I am their protector, their confidant and anyone that wanted to be in our lives pretty much had to go through him to get the "big brother seal of approval".
As we grew older we found that his big brother status had expanded to "best friend". We entrusted him with our deepest thoughts and feelings. In turn, he gave us unfailing support, love, sense of humor, and sincere pep talks. We've shared so much through the years that most of our really treasured memories in life somehow included him. Now the question in our hearts and minds is how do we let him go?
And then a recent memory of a conversation with my grandson came to mind. One night we were lying in bed about to fall asleep and Tomas who is 7 years old said to me "meme are you going to die?". I confirmed that someday I will die. However I told him when I do I will stay forever in his heart and his mind. He paused and thought about it for at least a minute and said "I get it, you'll be my forever invisible friend". And I told him, with a smile on my face that was correct.
Now I believe those little boy's words can give us all the strength to go on without my brother in this life and know that he is "our forever invisible friend" until we all become invisible too! I will miss my visible brother, however I know he is always with me.
I will love you forever bro (143), Linda-lee

Reflections and Memories of a friend
When I heard of Leo’s passing immediately my mind went to times of friendship, of laughing, of a relationship that was at times a sort of brotherhood. As I sat on my deck overlooking the paddock my horses are in, I reflected on our times together, the things we did as we grew and matured as people and as friends, the fun things, the goofy things, the serious things. I reflected just gazing at the clouds on a perfect day when my heart was saddened to know that Leo would no longer enjoy the things he so dearly loved, his family, his friends, his way of life, and indeed, his zest for life. I remembered us spending countless hours planning and working on cars for races. Many a night was spent till the wee hours doing last minute changes for what we hoped would be the winning combination. There were times of quiet reflection. It didn’t seem like it at the time, but in retrospect I see now that those times were precious, times of camaraderie and learning and growing, even just sitting and gabbing over a pizza. These are the things memories are made of, and although we went our separate ways in later years I still got periodic updates from Lisa and the boys as to what Leo and the rest of his family were doing. Although we were geographically separated and grew in maturity I think in many ways there were still parallels in our lives. I believe that had we been closer the friendship would have grown and been a lasting one. I dare to say that even through the years and the miles the friendship and memories still hold sway in what I remember as a time of amity. I remember too a man that was family oriented and enjoyed all that came with generations of family close by. I remember a man of exceptional memory and sagaciousness that at times would leave people taken aback by his ability to use common sense and gifted memory to solve problems. I remember quick wit and just as quick a willingness to laugh. I remember a man that would stand up for what he believed in and protect his loved ones with the tenacity of the righteous. These things are impressive in a person and are endearing in a friend and priceless in a husband, father, son and brother. Above all I remember his inner peace and knowledge that life was a participant sport, not a spectator sport. He believed life was a ride to be taken with enthusiasm, whether it was in a race or just everyday work. Perhaps we may not recognize it at the time, but because of the way he conducted his life, it showed love of family and of life everyday. That, my dear Karolyn and family, is what set him apart from others in my memories and I think as a person.
Deepest sympathies and prayers for your loss of a truly beloved man.
My friend, I’ll always remember the ride.

I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family. It's been quite a while since I've seen you and Leo, but my ex-husband and I used to see you every Saturday night at Mustang Sally's (Mardi Gras). I was searching for info on an obituary, only to find this! I can't believe it!! If there's anything I can do, please let me know.
My deepest sympathy,
Dianne
