I saw Bucky in December he was helping me clean out my brother's house after he passed. It was always good to see him whenever I visited. He gave selflessly and would help anyone. Thank you for all the memories my friend! God bless you

I am so very sorry for your loss. I have always enjoyed my conversations with Bucky when he came to Maplewood Family. He always shared his lovely smile along some good stories of his visits to the beach. He will most certainly be missed.

First met Bucky through school at Southfork elementary. Then played with and against him through Southwest Forsyth Little League Baseball. Played many neighborhood football games with Bucky and the Hedgecock Ave boys. Bucky was always fun loving and a hoot to be around. He was a good friend back then. Over the years we went in different directions and I hardly ever saw him but when our paths did cross he was always grateful to reconnect and take a few minutes to catch up. I'll be keeping his family in my prayers as I know he'll be missed.

Bucky was a very good friend. He came to see me two different times in Myrtle Beach in 2015 and 2016. Before I moved back home. I know he loved the Big Pond the Beach. Prayers to the family and other friends for the loss of great person. Who always had a big heart to help others.
