Donald Buka

BUKA-- Donald, died peacefully on July 21 in Reading, MA, at age 88. Born in Pittsburgh, PA, Donald's first and lasting love was the theatre, to which he devoted his life both in and behind the scenes. He began on tour as a teenager with the Lunts in the early 1940s and then went on to star in Film Noir, including his favorites "Between Midnight and Dawn" and "Stolen Identity" as well as many highlights in radio and television. Donald will be remembered for his inimitable charm, strength of spirit, snappy style, and joy for life. Father of Dr. Robert Buka, uncle to Dr. Stephen and David Buka, he will also be greatly missed by his many friends and relatives. Donations may be made in his name to the ASPCA, in recognition of his beloved golden retriever, "Casey". A Memorial service will be held at a later date in the Fall.
