Simon Buckner Obituary
Simon 3rd also served in WWII but as a Signal Officer in N. Africa, Italy, France, and Germany. He credited his promotion to Captain to his fluency in French which facilitated his Signal Company's use of the French-controlled telephone system in N. Africa. He was also an import salesman.
He is survived by his sister Mary Brubaker of Ashland OR; brother, William C. Buckner of Kansas City, MO.; son, Jeffrey A. Buckner MD of New York City and his three children: Julia (Matthew) Malouin, Alexander and Matthew; nieces, nephews, and two great grandchildren.
The family thanks Palm View caretakers and Simon's helpful friends in Yuma, particularly Dan, Greg, Loren and Scott. Graveside services with military honors will be conducted 2:00PM, Tues., Sept. 10 at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona, 23029 N Cave Creek Rd., Phoenix AZ.
