Sorry to hear of Mikes passing. I had the pleasure of working with Buck at station 8 where he was my Captain. I never once saw him get mad or say anything negative about anyone. Always willing to listen and never judge mental he was great guy to work with. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

Buck was a true friend. He was my Captain at 4 co. He was fair and compassionate. We had a lot of fun on and off the job and made many memories. He was well liked by all members of the A. F. D. He will be missed by many. His voice I´ll never forget. His friendship I will always remember. I will never forget him. He will always be one of my good friends. R. I. P. Buck.
