Buck made such an impact on so many lives, there was always a smile when people would come up to him. After not seeing Buck for many years I ran into him while he was working on our phones in our office on 1/31. Buck asked about my daughter Jennifer (Ring)Brett and my son Steven Ring. We had a wonderful short visit and got caught up, he told everyone at my work, "Cindy can sing like a bird, I could listen to her all day.Thank you Buck rest in peace.

Cousin Buck was the definition of "Bigger than Life". So funny, so talented and so full of love for family and friends. I will miss his jokes, his laughter and his braggin' on the grandkids along with his guitar pickin'. Thoughts and prayers to all his family especially Miss Sara for the life and love she gave him for 45 years. Sincerely with love and tears, Cousin Greg
