Robert C. Buckingham M.D.

Bob was a very mild mannered and thoughtful person who was loved and appreciated by all. We will miss him very, very much. He was a great contributor to a bible study class we attended for many years at Calvary Church. He led a group of us to an Amish farmhouse for dinner with his Amish friends. That is a wonderful memory of Bob.

Dr. Buckingham and his family in his old '40's car 'Old Betsey' moved next door to our home on Rutherford Rd. during the mid. '50's. Dr. Bob was beginning his medical career. Our families grew to be close friends. One very late night when my brother and myself were sick there was a knock on our front door. Dr. Buckingham after completing late night rounds at the hospital had seen a light in the kids bedroom as he entered his driveway. With medical bag in hand Dr. Bob said to our mother...

Dear Barry- read of your father's death in the Tuesday Patriot. Sorry for your loss. I remember the many hours we spent together doing EMS work at Hershey Fire. Wishing that you make the transition into the "new normal" without your father.

Susan, my sincere sympathies to you and Herb and your family on the loss of your father. May the memories you have of your father bring you comfort at this difficult time.

sorry to hear about your father he was a great guy

Barry and family, may pleasant memories ease your sorrows and may God bless you all.

I saw Dr. Buckingham from the time I was a little girl...was always my favorite...soft spoken gentle demeanor...There’s another angel in Heaven♥

Dr. Buckingham delivered my two sisters and I. Growing up got to know him and his family when he was my Aunt Mary’s neighbor on Ruthford Rd. Wonderful doctor! My thoughts and prayers to the family

Dr. Buckingham epitomized the words gentleman, scholar, physician and trusted friend. He was truly “the best.” We will miss him and remember his with great fondness.
Bob and Maureen Tecau
