Dear Bates Family,
I was sadden to hear of Bucky's passing. Growing up with Bucky on Tarleton St., I have so many fond memories of Bucky and his family. From trying to build a tree house to digging a club house ,from sports efforts to Jr High dances Bucky fills so many memories. I offer my prayers to the family and especially to Mrs Bates and Jamie.

Grace and Peace

Ann and Jay:

I was so shocked to hear that Bucky had died. I am so very sorry. I am thinking of you all. I have good memories of Bucky at Bates & Cunningham.

to Bucky's family:Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. We didn't know him very well, but well enough to know he was a good person and a really good friend to my sister, Diane Walls. We thought very highly of Bucky, and are so sorry for yall's loss.

Anne,
Shery sent me the message about Bucky and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Please know I am thinking about you and your son at his loss.

Ann, my long lost friend, Cindy Williams just sent this to me today..what a shock to learn of friends dying so young. So many memories from Baylor! And when y'all came out here to California.
I will let Ellen know too...
Love you, prayers to you and your family.

Ann and Jay, I was so shocked to hear about Bucky! I remember him well from Lee! And the group of us that were all couples! Those were the days! My thoughts and prayers are with you!

I was saddened and shocked to hear about Bucky's passing. I've known Bucky since elementary school. He and Andy Moore were friends back then. We were in the Mary Poppins play together and other plays. Although we didn't stay in touch I know he will be missed. He has gone home to our Father and is now at peace.
