Buck was a three star to the USAF, but to his friends at Canterbury Tower he was an all star. His 500 watt smile and his sense of humor will be missed. Beverly and his family are in our thoughts and prayers. Happy landings to our warrior friend.

Beverly, Lynsey and I send our deepest sympathy over your great loss. Buck was a great airman, leader and a wonderful family man. He led our military forces during a critical time in our nation's involvement in the Middle East and he did so with a quiet competence and no fanfare. He was a great leader who inspired our troops to do their best and he was admired and respected by all. Sincerely, Bill Klein, MG ret.

This great man was my Grandpa. I have many fond memories of his magic tricks, his laughter at the absurd, and his horse-playing with me and my brothers at the pool. I love him, miss him, and look forward to the day when I will see him again.

Buck Rogers was my father and friend. He was a man of great character. He taught me about morals and honesty.. He taught me right from wrong. He loved his country and dedicated much of his life to her defense. He loved flying and cherished every moment he was in God's sky. He loved his family..... He said it and showed it often. I miss him.
