Buck leaves behind so many many cherished friends and to name them all would take forever and for
fear of leaving someone out, I will just say, each one left a lasting impression on Buck.
Buck had a long relationship with the United States Air Force that spanned a career of 28 years. He
also spent 3 years in the United States Army. As a Senior Mastor Sargent he completed his military career with a total of 31 years, 9 months and 21 days serving this great Country that he loved so much and said if he could reup again, he would do it all over again. He kind of got his wish when Dementia took over and he told me that he was asked to teach for the United States Air Force at the age of 83.
He loved to teach and in 1995 he became licensed by the State of Texas to teach the Concealed
Handgun License Class and did that for 24 and a half years, retiring in 2019. He also liked to work on
old houses that we bought and with the help of my brother, Travis, or rooster as Buck soon named
him, because of the constant "Buck, Buck, Buck" he heard coming from Travis every time he talked,
they would fix them up and a new family would move in.
Buck also loved his old vehicles. His "baby" was his 1935 Diamante Roadster, which was a parade
entry winner every year. He loved to honk that horn and hear it go "ooooogaaaaa". Can't your ears
just hear that sound now? He then found a 1937 Ford 1/2 ton pickup that needed major restoration in
Carbon, Texas and just had to have it. So we trailered it home, put it in his shop and it became "our
baby". We spent many hours in that shop, mostly at night when it was a lot cooler, sanding, pulling
out dents and just giving it the most TLC we could. We got her up and running and took it around in
parades and garnered a few trophies along the way with it as well.
He will be truly missed by me but I know that many people will miss this great man that liked to be called "Buck".
