Vincent "Hank" Buco

Vincent Henry "Hank" Buco, 79, passed away on February 15, 2026. He had called Rehoboth, Massachusetts home since 1978, after growing up in Barrington, Rhode Island.

A graduate of Bryant University, Hank went on to become the owner of Ocean State Dental Repair. He was incredibly hardworking and took pride in building his business and providing for his family, but he loved being home most of all. He especially enjoyed being outside, often dozing off in his beloved hammock with his dog Ruby.

He is survived by his wife, Dorene Kelly-Buco; his daughter, Chelsea Raffles and her husband Anthony Raffles; his son, Curran Buco and his wife Jessica Buco; his stepdaughter, Megan Beaudette and her husband Jeremy Beaudette; and his four grandchildren, Henry Buco, Penelope Pelland, Ella Malinowski, and Brooklyn Beaudette. He is also survived by his sister, Ida Hughes.

Hank left an impression on everyone he met. He was respected in his work, valued for his honesty, and loved for his easygoing, sweet nature. He made people feel comfortable just by being himself. He will be deeply missed by family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

In keeping with Hank's wishes, there will be no services.
