John Winfield

Miss you Bucky. I had such a great day today with Margaret. We bought all sorts of awesome things for the condo. You would approve and be so happy. It will not be sold ever. This is our place with you (like the cabin) and we look forward to honoring you here and celebrating always. I wish you were here. But I feel you can see. And you have been with me since the 28th. Thank you. Love you and miss you.

I was blessed to meet Bucky at Woodberry as a tiny novice third form wrestler. Bucky took me under his wrestling wing and helped me through the season and ultimately through my Woodberry experience. He was a good friend and a caring soul. I imagine he would be proud of your words: strong and honest.

Thank you, Bucky's family, for sharing his story. I know it was painful but we who are going through the same thing appreciate your honesty.

Thank you, John's family,for this courageous notice of his passing. I know he was one to be much loved and your story about him is beautifully shared. It means much to me and my family.

You are not alone. Alcoholism is a disease that many succumb to. Keep the good memories close to you always.
