I got your message this morning that you sent to me while I´m visiting Marce and Bob! I was in the apartment and read you loud and clear! Give my Mom and Dad love from me!! Love you Buckie

To Bucky's family, My late husband and I knew Bucky for many years... He did excellent construction work in assisting restoring our 1840s farmhouse in Fairview Township, plus gifting us with one of his famous turkey calls...we enjoyed knowing him. My heart goes out to this fine man's family at this time. He left a positive mark on those who knew him. Sincerely, Mrs. Harry L. (Shirley E.) Messick Longs, South Carolina

I have know Buckie since I was in the first grade! Our families were so close! I have so many fond memories and he was such a wonderful person! You will be missed so much!! Love you

Greatly missed. Friend of our family. Master turkey call maker. Enjoyed my box call and yelper call for years. Like my uncle enjoyed the years working at sportsmen show with you. Great friend of my grandfather. RIP. David

I was deeply saddened to hear of Bucky's passing. I've know Bucky since the 60s mostly thru our mutual love of Turkey Hunting and call making. He was a master at his craft and a highly skilled outdoorsman. We shared many laughs together over our 60 years of frienship and camaraderie. I will see you sometime again my friend in those big Turkey hunting woods in the sky. Condolences go out to all family members. Bucky was an all around great guy.

My neighbor growing-up who became a friend later. "Kind" and "generous" is an understatement. A quality individual, for sure. I will certainly miss him.
