Mr. Buck will truly be missed at the Montgomery County Conservation Club. I have enjoyed many hours sitting and listening to his vivid memories of growing up in Kirkwood. To listen to him would make you want to step back in time because of the happiness in his voice. He was a trooper!

May God bless the entire Buck family in this time of grief and sorrow. May God put his hand on your shoulders and guide you through these trying times. Clarksville will miss this good man. It is just not the same when I come home to visit. I know a few Wildcat team mates were there to greet Glen at his new home. Glen it was just a pleasure to know you and play on the same teams with you.
