Leroy "Buddy" Docksteader

I love you grandpa buddy. You will be forever in my heart. Ill always remember the good memories, even all the bad. I miss you terribly. May you rest in peace. Love you always.

Dear Mary & Family, we are greiving with you all & have so many fond memories of Bud playing the harmonica & me the accordian. He would show up when my band was playing at a dance & play his harmonica with us. Sorry we have not able to see you for a couple years, but Bud & I got to talk on the phone alot. Jan will always remember his cute personality & how he made us laugh.Our hearts are with you & we will keep you all in our prayers. With all our love. Sonny & Jan

I have so many great memories of when I was a child and the times we shared together and how bad I missed him when he left Longview. I enjoyed the times I got to visit him and Mary in Yuba city even though I wish I could have been able to visit more often. I will never forget Uncle Buddy's phone calls everyday when I was so sick and going thru my surgeries, he always showed his love and kindness in all he did. I'll miss sharing our fish tales while out on the river. Last fall was my last...

To all of you, we so sorry we can't be there tomorrow for Buddys service. Our hearts will be there with all of you.We Love you all so very much and we are glad we made the trip when he was so bad in September. We know he is in a better place because he knew Jesus. Boy, he was really a fighter ,wasn't he? So many times they said he wouldn't make it. We will miss him very much. Hope to see you all about April. We will keep you all in our prayers. Love Don & Carol

Uncle Buddy, I know you are in a better place and I loved you alot. Darrin Docksteader and family our prayers are with you.

Mary, our thoughts are with you and your family. We have not seen You or Buddy since you moved to California, but Carol always kept us updated of your family. We will pray for you.

Extending our love and sympathy to all of you. Have known so many of you Docksteaders, Don & Carol through school & some through work for the city of Longview. God's Peace and Blessings to all.

I didn't know Buddy personaly but I know his brother Don and his family and they are wonderful people so if Buddy was anything like brother he was a great guy. May he rest in peace and be loved forever
