I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. My Mom ( Anita Dupuis Eschmann)will deeply miss the many memories and laughter she shared with Bucky, and she so looked forward to the phone calls. Not many people get the chance to meet their first love again, after 60 years. They so enjoyed dancing together many many years ago before WW II sent them seperate ways. He was truly an angel who brought joy into my Mom's life.

Sandy and family, Please accept my deepest sympathies on the passing of your father. He was a great guy and I remember him both as a police officer in Dover and later working at the High School when we attended there. He always treated us kids great in both jobs. May God help you through this difficult time.

Linda and Sandy,
We would like to extend our heartfelt sympathy to you both and your families on your father's passing. We have so many warm memories of Bucky and he will always hold a special place in our hearts. He loved bringing you girls to our camp in Maine when you were young and enjoyed every minute that he was there with you. We also have many "sweet" memories of him bringing candy bars when he visited our home. He would always ask us to pick a pocket and of course he...

To the family of "Bucky" Dame. I have lived away from Dover for 23 yrs but I always remember your dad on the police force. He was always doing something civic minded, always an officer you could trus,even as a teenager. I think that, in itself, is quite a legacy. Please accept my sympathy.

It is with sadness but with fond memories I offer my condolences to the Dame family. I knew "Bucky" from St. Mary's right through High School and we had some wonderful times together. A great guy.
