John Jervey Bucklin

I was privileged to know John for my entire life, first as a childhood friend of his oldest daughter , Sally; and later on as an adult, and fellow devotee of the Hendricks gin martini cocktail, which I many times enjoyed together with him at his residence .
Every year after my own father passed away in 1995, I called John on Father's Day, as he was a father figure to me - a loving man & family man, a man I greatly admired.
I will miss John and as a friend of the family, I grieve with...

so sorry to hear of mr. bucklin's passing. i enjoyed our visits when we would cross paths along orange grove ave. each morning. his stories of growing up near the arroyo, as well as stanford, and his army days (the greatest generation) kept me spellbound. a real gentleman who insisted that i call him john. God bless his soul.
