Next to my father, Buck had the greatest influence on the man I became. He grabbed me in the barracks in Bermuda after I got in some trouble. He put me up against the bulkhead, looked me in the eye and said, in that slow, drawn-out voice he used, "Son, you have a lot of ability that you are wasting away. I´m either going to square your butt away and make a Flight Engineer out of you or run you out of my Navy."
February 1968, Buck took me out on my FE qualifying flight. He put me through the ringer, but gave me that cockeyed smile and said, "Congratulations son. You passed with flying colors."
We became great friends that day in Bermuda. We stayed in touch since that day in 1967 and he´s been like a big brother to me. Last year I stopped by Buck´s on my way home from Florida. We had 3 great days to reminisce about our time together. We went through his scrap books and talked for hours. I am so thankful to have had that one-on-one time with Buck.
My heart is broken, and I´ll forever be grateful God put Buck Perry Jones in my life This picture was taken at a VP-45 reunion in Jacksonville, FL.
Rest easy, Buck. We have the watch.
