Richard Lee Buck

Dear family:
I learned too late to attend the visitation or funeral of your father. He was a special person at MCC working with my late husband, Dale Rathjen, in the greenhouses. I also knew your mother for years having taught at Barrington H.S.

You are so blessed to have the love and care of two special people who also gave so much of their lives for others. They are tending God's garden, hopefully meeting up with Dale too. Elaine Rathjen, Dundee, IL.

Our thoughts & prayers are with the entire Buck family. Your parents touched our lives in so many wonderful ways. Dad Buck is tending God's garden, now.
Blessings to you.

I thank God for lending Richard to us for awhile and for lending his beautiful voice to everybody. We appreciated Dick's presence at whatever he was doing. Now let him sing a "Sing A New Song".

The expression's of love that BOTH of your parents poured out to those of us who were blessed to have known them, are too numerable to mention. My children and I send our deepest condolences at the loss of you father.

A true "gentle" man. He touched many of us and will be missed by all. Please accept our deepest sympathy for your great loss.

Dave: We send our deepest and heartfelt condolences to you and your family on the passing of your father. It's obvious that this world is a far better place having his presence for so many years. Also remember that he was a great father...after all, he raised one heck of a son. Know that we are here should you, Patty and the boys need anything.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear Todd and family,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of your father. It has been many years, but I remember what a kind man he was. He will be missed.

We loved your father and your mother. They contributed so much to our church and everyone they came in contact with. Your father and our little grandaughter had a special relationship, while we attended First UCC in Huntley. Our sincere sympathy to all of you.
