Tom Buck Obituary
BUCK, Tom Tom Buck, formerly of West Hartford, the loving son of Margaret (Brennan) Buck and the late Thomas R. Buck, departed this life Sunday, (January 23, 2005) to continue his journey of adventure and exploration after his courageous battle with cancer. He faced this final challenge like he did all life's obstacles, on his own terms, with strength, dignity, and a quiet determination that reflected his deep love of life wherever it took him. He stands tall and is walking into the sunset, down the road to embrace what is around the next bend. We invite you to celebrate his life this Friday, Feb. 4, from 4-7 p.m., at the Molloy Funeral Home, 906 Farmington Ave., West Hartford, to share memories and joy. Happy Roads Brother! Messages of remembrance may be made online atwww.molloyfuneralhome.com.

John,
I am heartfully sorry for your loss. We have all missed seeing you on Wednesday nights. Sending our love to you and your family.
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I and you are you,
whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow,
laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Pray smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort,
without the trace of a shadow in it.
Life means all that it ever meant,
it is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity,
why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you
somewhere very near
just around the corner.
All is well

Dear John and Mrs. Buck,
I cannot imagine the grief you are feeling at this time. Tom was and will always be a very important person to me. He was my first love. I've wished him Happy Birthday every year by taking a moment on that day to remember Tom. I hoped that he felt a speck of warmth on that day coming from a faraway place.
With Love,
Debbie Griswold
