Jon we are so truly saddened for the great loss of your father Buck. We have faith as we know you do , that you will see him again being children of God. ( John 6:47- “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life”) Remember that God is holding your right hand, as we have found that phrase over 4 times in the Bible…He will never leave you nor forsake you. Our prayers are continually going out to you and your entire family, and if there is anything we can do for you please do not ever hesitate to ask. Please continue to hold onto your faith, and remember Philippians 4:8-9 and 1 Thessalonians 4:12-18….
Much love,
Randy and Lisa

Teresa, so sorry about Buck, I just found out this morning. It makes me very sad. I would be there if I could but I have to work. Just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. And Buck will be missed. He was there for me when Mike died, kinda watched over me at the memorial just like you guys did when I was a kid.

Love,
Milca

Will certainly miss his company at the lake. What a wonderful man to know. Always great conversation over a cold beer or some of that homemade wine. He was allways willing to jump in and help with all the off the wall crazy projects/situations i would get into. I remember how patient he was with my youngster son as they poured concrete at the club. Also the time the wind peeled the roof off his house boat as we both struggled in the rain to cover it back up. Just wont be the same down there without him although i am sure he is still going to be there watchin over us. I Will continue to look for him out to the end of that dock every time i go to the lake. Gonna miss ya buck

We always laugh when we remember the times Buck got angry when his satellite quit working on his boat! Poor receptionist at the satellite company! And we will always remember the good times and his expertise and help with club projects. R.I.P. Buck.
