I was deeply sadden to hear of Buck's passing and was so sorry that I could not attend his service. Buck and I go way back. Though my own health issues have not allowed me to play golf in almost ten years I often reminisce about playing and when I do fond memories of Buck, Frankie, Mike and myself always come to mind. He will be missed.

Regards, Al Stinnette

Linda, Frank, and Lisa,

Please accept my condolences at Buck's passing. Though it has been many years since we've seen each other, vivid are the memories of Buck's unique flair for calling high school basketball games and talking his way through a round of golf.
