Marianne and family: I just heard of Buck's death. I am sorry I missed his funeral. He was a great guy and I always enjoyed his company and his great laugh. In Softball, he was always there to help out and to make sure everyone was happy and enjoyng the time. I will miss him. He thought a lot of my daughter Jacqueline and would tease her. They both enjoyed that. My sincere sympathy.
