Herman was born the son of Herman Richard Wuebker Sr. and Emma Louise Thiele on November 24, 1944. He served in the Texas Army National Guard Airborne Division from 1965 to 1971, receiving an Honorable Discharge. Herman married Ann Nita Schiller on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 1968, and they shared a marriage of love and devotion for 52 years. He worked as a firefighter for Waco Fire Department, General Dynamics, TX Dot, and for Falls County Soil Conservation, prior to becoming a fulltime farmer and rancher, which was the love of his life. Buck was a Dallas Cowboy Fan. He loved watching his sons, Brian and Chris, play high school football, cheering them on from the sideline. Buck looked forward to the first day of deer season. Before he and Nita married, he hunted with his dad and uncles. Later Buck started hunting in Comanche County where he and Nita spent many very cold days and nights camping and hunting, and spending his birthday and Thanksgiving at the deer camp every year. He and Nita enjoyed going to the deer lease, spending time with the kids. He also loved to dove hunt, always getting his limit, and providing a delicious meal of fried dove, the first day of season. Buck and Nita also enjoyed fishing together. Purchasing an old boat, early in their marriage, they went fishing on the Brazos River often.

Preceding Buck in death were parents, Herman and Emma Wuebker.
