Buck was a special friend to my family. I remember my parents telling stories of his interest in antique cars at a young age. To his family that I have met, Boo and Coralie, you are in my thoughts.

Buck was an incredible man. He was a wonderful family friend who will be dearly missed. His smile would warm up a room. His laugh and great sense of humor got many people through difficult times in their life. Please say hello to my father. I know you have a lot to catch up on. You taught us how to remember to live life to the fullest. Love and hugs to Coralie and the entire family.
