How fortunate you are to have such a father; how fortunate he was to have such a son. My deepest sympathy to you and your entire family.

Jim,
Fathers are special to sons and special sons are the result of great fathers. Your Dad was a quiet fixture & force at all your games & performances and obviously loved you all very much. No doubt you will continue to hear his voice and feel his spirit until you join him again in heaven.
With Deepest Sympathy, Kevin Burke '78 & family.

Jim Buck was a gentleman who exhibited consistent sportsmanship both as a player or observer of competitive athletics. He had a quiet dignity that few could truly emulate. Well played, Jim.

I did not know Mr. Buck well, but to have a son as fine as Jim, he must have been a great father.
