Jun 26, 1952 – Feb 2, 2021 (Age 68)
Charles Stanley “Stan” Bucklin died unexpectedly but peacefully at his home on February 2nd 2021, in Jamaica Plain, MA at the age of 68.
Stan was born on June 26th, 1952 in Boston, Massachusetts to Charles Melville and Marion Cooper Bucklin. Stan graduated from Alfred University in 1975 with a Bachelor’s Degree in History.
After moving to Boston in 1976, Stan began working in the camera industry and ultimately as an Account Manager covering New England for Leica Cameras for over thirty years. He and his wife Lynne have also been sole importers of Cavedoni Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Italy covering distribution in North America since 2001. Stan was accomplished and passionate about many sports. Sailing in the Figawi race to Nantucket, squash and rowing at the Union Boat Club in Boston and golfing at The Country Club in Brookline were his favorite pastimes. He was a talented photographer, avid reader, motorcycle enthusiast and loved to travel both nationally and internationally.
Stan was a much-loved individual, loved by countless people, from all over the world. Stan was a very engaging and interesting man and always a true gentleman. He was a Founding Member of the “Boston Beverage Club” in the 1980s. Its flag flew at events like The Head of The Charles Race, Harvard vs Yale games in Cambridge, at his country home in New London, NH or city home in Jamaica Plain, MA. All people were welcome in his home, “Come in and sit, we will share a drink and our memories and our stories.”
Stan was an active and dedicated member of The Country Club in Brookline MA, the Union Boat Club in Boston, MA, The Newport Reading Room in Newport, RI and the Lake Sunapee Yacht Club in Sunapee, NH. Stan remained very close to all of his friends and classmates, attending many reunions at his alma maters, Alfred University and the New Hampton School in New Hampton, NH.
Stan was the beloved husband of Lynne Kelley Bucklin. He also leaves behind his daughters Lydia and Hannah Bucklin, his step-sons John Ivey and Lieutenant Commander Christopher Ivey, USN, step-mother Martha Harris and her husband, Dave, siblings Jennifer Bucklin Roy of Brownsville, VT and Carrie Bucklin of New London, NH.
A reception will be held later this summer to celebrate Stan’s life. In lieu of sending Flowers please make a donation to the Greater Boston Food Bank in Stan’s memory.

Shortly before my dad´s sudden passing, he expressed interest in getting more involved with the Boston Food Bank. While he´s sadly not here anymore, each year I donate for his birthday in his honor. This cause was close to him and so now it´s close to me . Love you dad.

I was so sad to learn of Stan's unexpected passing. I didn't get to know Stan all that well during his brief years at New London Junior High but reconnected through FB. I remarked to my husband multiple times, that I really hoped to bump into Stan around town. I feel like I got to know Stan a bit more through his FB posts. It was easy to sense Stan's humor, clever intellect and strong love for you, Lynn, your family and Stan's many friends. I think in most of Stan's photo posts he had...

So sad to hear of Stan's unexpected passing. Our deepest sympathy to Lynne, Lydia and Hannah. We especially remember Stan's generous hospitality and warmth in Brookline and New Hampshire and his obvious devotion to his daughters. We had some unforgettable nights with Stan at Ronnie Scott's jazz club in Soho, London and other great memories.

I met Stan at New Hampton in 1968. Our fiftieth class reunion is in June and, covid permitting, I was hoping to visit with him then.
Stan was affable and an eloquent raconteur with a quick wit. I know he is sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. My deepest condolences to Lynne and the entire Bucklin family.

As I grew up attached to Hannah's side, I got to see Stan and experience his comforting presence through many stages of my life. Some of my first memories include the Bucklin crew and I will cherish those forever. Stan was always a gentle giant to me and I will hold my memories of the times I got to share with him in Jamacia Plain and in New Hampshire close to my heart. I cannot properly express my sorrow for Hannah and Lydia but my heart is with them. Rest in Peace Stan and thank you for...

Uncle Stan was the best, most warm-hearted, caring and compassionate person. I feel so lucky that he was such a constant presence in my life and I will forever cherish the memories I have with him. I started to write some of these down and have already used five pages of notepaper, so clearly there are too many good times to count! I, along with anyone who ever knew him, loved him so much and will miss him incredibly. His presence was and still is larger than life.
