Not sure what to say?

I loved being a "Buckoe" and working on stars for my camp hat. It truly was an innocent time in my life and I still have great memories! Every time I drive down Hwy 56 I always look at the former camp site and remember the great lessons in life I had there. It was a memorable time and I was crushed when the camp closed. My brothers and I had a great time being part of the Buckoes family. It was a fun way to be a country kid in San Diego. Sorry for your loss.

Many fond memories are shared by the Weflen family at Buckoes Summer Day Camp with Dave, Skimp, Joann, Kathy, Lois. Please accept our condolences for your loss.

Uncle Dave as I knew him was a kind man that certainly paved his own way through life as an intelligent and skilled veterinarian. Winters in my youth were spent skiing in Aspen fortunate enough to have his place to stay at and his guitars to play. I never really did get the hang of guitar playing but it was a nice way to spend time with him after a day on the slopes for this lucky kid.

My deepest sympathies and condolences go to the Kenney family. I was part of the family and worked at Buckoes summer day camp when my sister Kathy was married to Bill, "Skimp", Davids younger brother and have many fond memories of those yesteryear days. Davids live and career ENRICHED so many of us. He will be sorely missed. Ron Brown

Everybody wrote such elegant things about Dr. Kenney I was a camp counselor at Buckoes and had such a crush on him! He taught me so much about horses and taking care of them I still use. He would give us a box of syringes and vaccines and we would as teenagers give shot to al 40 plus ponies and horse, He made us feel grown up and confident, I got to ride his old horse Pawnee and he was the best ever trained horse I have ever rode....God Bless His family and friends he will be missed! ...

I was sorry to hear that David lost his battle. He lived a long and very full life doing what he loved. My fondest memory is of him taking the time to teach his shy 14 year old cousin(me) how to dance. What a treasure he was. The animals that found their way into his world were the lucky ones. He will be so missed by all that knew and loved him. Loving cousin Marti Bousman

We would like David's family to know we hugely regret David will not be with us for the LJHS Class of 1952, 60th Reunion. We sorely miss all classmates who will not be with us but especially David. His was a life well lived, an inspiration. It was a privilege and an honor to have known him.
