To The Van Buskirk Family
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss of Tom. I knew Tom quite well in our younger days. We went to school together, first to St. Joseph’s grammar school in Green Island, then to CCHS in Troy and finally we day-hopped to Siena College together. We were pretty close in those days, spending many hours on the handball courts at Siena. We stayed in touch for a few years after college; Tom was an usher at my wedding. I regret that we lost touch with one another over the years.
Tom was a good friend and I am sure, a good husband and father.

To the VanBuskirk Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I have so many really great memories of "Bucker" from the many nights we spent partying in Green Island in our "younger" years, over 45 years ago. I haven't seen him in so many years but I will always remember him as the great guy he was. My thoughts are with you all, Brenda, "Little Bucker," and the entire VanBuskirk family at your time of loss.
