I met Major General John T Buck and his wonderful wife while I served as the medical liasion at Wright-Patterson from 1995-1999.
I was always treated as a friend and felt as was always welcomed to enjoy playing golf with them on visits to the Base.
Major General and Mrs Buck will always be in my thoughts and prayers, especially as we commemorate the passing of Major General Buck two years ago.
God rest his soul, and may there be comfort for Mrs Nancy Buck.
