I knew Buck for over 50 years, and never saw him when he wasn’t smiling. I can close my eyes and hear that laugh. RIP Buck
I am so sorry to hear about Buck’s passing. I have known Buck since the days when we all use to hang out at Applebees and Whiskers in Lawrenceville and that has been over 30 years now. I just want his family to know that every time I seen Buck he was either smiling or laughing and that was the kind of guy he was. Just know that my prayers and thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. God bless you Buck and I am glad that I got to know you all those years ago period.
