Where to start...Bill trained me in 1979 on the county's computer systems. We worked together for the next 35 years. Bill was an awesome workmate, always on time and his work was always perfect. We worked 24/7 and when my shift would end up being on Christmas, Bill would always offer to take my shift as I had three children. Bill was one of the nicest guys I ever knew. He will be missed in this world.
God bless you Connie.

Bill was a good and pleasant guy. He loved his movies, music, Cross-stich, and loved to travel. I could not have asked for a nicer person to work with. Connie was the love of his life! Connie, I am sorry for your loss. May God be with you; keep you; and all who loved Bill!

The world is a sadder place without Uncle Billy in it. Those Bucker boys were the cream of the crop. I will always cherish the memories we had, especially our trips to Virginia Beach when he and dad would tackle the "all you can eat" crab legs and the year he asked us all for our favorite music and made us compilation cassette tapes! All my love and prayers are with you Aunt Connie.

So sorry for your loss. Bill was one of the nicest guys I have ever met. We used to talk about music, movies and swap stories about classic cars and give him a hard time about his Ford F150. I was fortunate to have known him.

Connie, I am shocked and so very, very sorry for your loss. He was such a great friend and wonderful coworker for so many years. I have missed seeing both of you. I know he was the love of your life and now he is in the hands of God. My heart is broken for you; such wonderful memories are flooding my mind right now. You will be in my prayers.
With Love,

Billy had to be one of the kindest men I´ve ever met. I have so many fun memories of my childhood of our family spending time with Connie and Billy. As well as the times Billy would come pick Bill and I up and take us to see Disney movies, we always had so much fun. I know he will be missed by many and may their fond memories of Billy help them find comfort now, especially Connie. Prayers and hugs to you Connie

Billy was one of the best guys I knew. When our kids were small Billy would call and ask to borrow them to go to a Disney movie. We have so many fond memories with Billy and Connie. Billy is surely watching over Connie. They were blessed with a long loving marriage. RIP our dear friend.

Billy was one of the nicest people I knew. Everytime he & Connie visited he was smiling and exuded happiness. Such a beautiful spirit! I know he's still watching over Connie and being her guardian angel. Hugs Billy. You are missed!

I'm so sure Doug was one of Billy's greeters at those pearly gates.
I think if we feel the earth shakes or the skies open and of course rainbows...those two are having a ball
Billy was one of the kindest and loveliest person I've had the pleasure of knowing.
Our men are waiting for us
Love you very much
