Uncle Buck was always a sweet, kind man to the end. He never failed to visit Mom's when I was home from NY. A constant entertainer and joy to be around. I will treasure his peach pit monkeys. So happy I got to spend time with him in the last year. The memory of his whimsical smile will always bring me joy! You can see it in this photo. Love you Uncle Buck. Tell Maw hi for us!

Buck was a dear friend to my father, Peter Constantino, who passed 2 years ago. At times they were inseparable and are now reunited. I can just imagine their butting heads again just as they did on earth. I know he will be greatly missed and I certainly was amazed by his talents both mentally and physically at his age. He and my dad made me laugh when they were side by side working on electrical problems in the manner they ridiculed each other figuring the problem out. The finishing touch of each job always resulted in a good cold one. Both my family (Janie and Jan)and myself have you and family in our prayers.

I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. I didn't know him, but my mother, Ann DeVillier Riffel, and I were friends with his sister Nora. We enjoyed tracing our DeVillier family history together.
