Buck was a loving father, brother, grandfather and friend. He served in the United States Marines from 1972-1974 and proudly expressed his patriotism throughout his life. He loved to cruise around town honking his horn and waving at people, just to say “hello”. He was a frequent diner at the Family Steak House and often payed for other people’s meals. He had a heart of gold and made sure everyone was taken care of and never asked for anything in return. He loved playing Poker with his friends and family and visiting with them. His family was his pride and joy and he loved to spoil his grandchildren. He was an amazing man who brought joy to so many people. He will be deeply missed by not only his family but the community he loved.
