Rest In Peace Bill
Although I never met your or your wife Rose, we had many chats when you spent time at Cashman Cabin as you dubbed it! I remember how much you both loved the Promised Land area.You always had a funny story or two to tell me after you're visits there.You have now reached the real Promised Land....
Rose if you happen to read this please accept my sincere sympathy. I sold Cashman Cabin in 2018 and now have a small place in Milford. Time will ease your pain and bring you peace
Sincerely,
Teresa Cashman

I had the pleasure to coach Buck in basketball at St. Alice. He was competitive, friendly and passionate about the game. He was willing to do whatever it took to win. We found each other on Facebook and suddenly I became aware of his passing. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. I am sorry for your loss.

I attended St Alices' with Bill from K-8th grade and as my dear classmate Sookie said I too had a crush on Bill and thought he was just a great guy. I am so very sorry for your loss.

I had the pleasure of hanging out with Bill for a couple of years back in the late 70's/early 80's. He really was one of my favorite people, so many fun memories. I feel so sad learning of his passing. Prayers for his family. I'm sure he will be greatly missed.

My deepest sympathies to the Buckley family. I knew Bill from St Alice school and I also worked with Bill at UPS for 6 years back in the day. He was a good guy always in a good mood. He will be missed. God Bless the Buckley family

Rip Billis Buckis(our nickname we had ).. it's been years . Met you as a young kid and then you became father to my cousin Jackie. I know you'll be glad to know she wasn't alone when she received the awful news of your passing. My daughter Bri was with her(,who you took pics of in hospital nursery after her birth .she's now 25). There are no words to make this easier on anyone. But I'm glad you're not suffering. My thoughts are with your loved ones.
