Not sure what to say?

Mr. Buck, I know your daughter and her sons. You raised a wonderful daughter. I'm sorry that all of the time you were visiting Haverford School, I never got a chance to meet you

Mr. Buck ,I never met you but I know your daughter Cackie, her boys and your son. Your legacy will leave on through them.
I'm sorry that I never got a chance to tell you what a wonderful compassionate daughter you have in Cackie. I'm sure she made you so very proud.

With sympathy

My deepest sympathies to Cackie, Jim and the family.

Jim:

How fortunate you are to have such a father; how fortunate he was to have such a son. My deepest sympathy to you and your entire family.

Jim,
Fathers are special to sons and special sons are the result of great fathers. Your Dad was a quiet fixture & force at all your games & performances and obviously loved you all very much. No doubt you will continue to hear his voice and feel his spirit until you join him again in heaven.
With Deepest Sympathy, Kevin Burke '78 & family.

Jim Buck was a gentleman who exhibited consistent sportsmanship both as a player or observer of competitive athletics. He had a quiet dignity that few could truly emulate. Well played, Jim.

I did not know Mr. Buck well, but to have a son as fine as Jim, he must have been a great father.

Dear Mrs. Buck, Cackie and Jim, I want to extend my gratitude for knowing your family. I will always remember Mr. Buck's wonderful voice on the patio at Cotton Bay. With sympathy,
