The Sikorsky family has lost true genuine treasure of a person. I met Mr. Buckley in 1979 as a 19 yr old young man. What a kind and dedicated president he was. Over the years he always would say hello in passage on the shop floor. Many years later ( 1995) we ran into each other in the development center, he looked at me and said Tony is that you?? He never forgot my name or who I was.
Expect for Mr Sikorsky he´s the best Prez we ever had. My heartfelt condolences to the family of Mr. Buckley.
