“Regina, Alan, Delores, Mikey, Meghan & the Guy families: Words cannot express the sadness that we feel on the loss of Buck. We feel very forunate to have known Buck for decades, him being our brother-in-law. He would always greet you with “How’s your gizzard”? Buck was very religious, never missing mass until the loss of his leg, personally I think it hurt him more not being able to be usher @ Immaculate Conception Church, because of the loss of his leg. He is now with his Lord/Saviour.Buck will be missed and mourned in the community, that he loved, he dearly loved his family and was very proud of each and everyone of them.

“Regina and family, I loved the way that Bucky loved each of you. Regina, I loved the way he called you “mama”. I loved the way you sat right up beside him when we were going somewhere. I loved the hot summer picnics with fried chicken and all the fixin’s, with the kids in the park. I loved the way you stroked his hair and held his hand – because you knew he loved that. I loved that he had dinner waiting for you when you came home from work. I loved that he still bought you flowers. I loved the way he was so proud of his home, his yard and of course his truck. I loved the loyalty and conviction for the things that be believed in. I loved his faith – childlike – pure and simple. I loved that he was passionate about his life and his family. I loved his integrity and work ethics. We are so blessed to have shared his life and to have him as mentor and our brother. He taught us how to laugh and love and dance in the rain. I love you…. Forever – Sheila & Joe “
“On this day and always we will think back of the great things about our “Bucky”. He was such a caring, sweet, honest, helpful person who had so many friends, believed in the Lord so much, he was loved by his family so deeply. We remember back when you attended St. Mary’s Academy, worked at the Wood’s Food Rite, everyone loved your greetings as they walked in/out. Your sense of humor and I love you’s will be missed. We will be visiting you still weekly to have our chat’s and bring you your favorite goodies. Rest in Peace my Rooter, give hugs to your father, mother and brother. Hugs and we love you!”
“I WILL FOREVER MISS THE WAY HE WOULD WAVE TO ME AND MOM SAYING YOOHOO.. HOW THE HELL ARE YA.. OR WHEN I CALLED FROM WORK HE BE LIKE.. WHERE YOU AT? WHERE YOU BEEN? WHAT YOU DOING?.. GOOD FOR YA! WHEN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO MOM, HE SAY SHES IN HER SKIN.. WHEN SHE JUMPS OUT, YOU CAN JUMP IN.. THEN HE BE YELLIN MAMA! EVERYTIME I COME HOME HE YELL GO GET WOOD OR UNCLE JERRYS GOT MORE WOOD FOR YA.. HOWS YOUR GIZZARD? HOWS YOUR LIVER? MY FAVORITE THING HE ALWAYS TOLD ME, HE KNEW I LOVED HEARING IT.. DONT LET THE SUN SHINE IN YOUR EYES, DONT LET THE MOON BREAK YOUR H-E-A-R-T! OR WHEN HE KNEW HE AGGREVATED ANYONE HE JUST START LAUGHING AND SMILING THAT BIG OLD GRIN OF HIS. HE ALWAYS CALLED TOBY MASTER’S DOG. WHEN YOU GET TIRED OF LOOKIN AT YOURSELF, COME LOOK AT ME HE SAY EVERYTIME HE GOT ON THE PHONE WITH ANYONE, ESPECIALLY HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS. ANOTHER ONE OF HIS JOKES WAS WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND IN MY PRIME, I WOULD MAKE ALL THE WOMEN RUN AND WINE, NOW I ONLY MAKE ONE WOMAN RUN AND WINE. HE WOULD ALWAYS WAVE TO ALL HIS FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS. IN CHURCH HE COULD HEAR HIM JUST PRAYING TO HIMSELF OR TALKING TO ONE OF HIS FRIENDS BACK THERE. NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS HOW GREATLY WE WILL ALL MISS MY FATHER/POPS/BUCKY.. THE WORLD MAY HAVE LOST A GREAT GUY BUT THE HEAVENS GAINED A WONDERFUL ANGEL, WHO WILL ALWAYS BE WATCHING OVER ALL OF US, SECRETLY ASKING US, HOWS ARE GIZZARDS..

“”To My Beloved Big Brother, Bucky”…I know you are in a better place now with God…and with our Mom and Dad and our brother Ricky…but, I miss you dearly…your smile, laughter, jokes, stories, but most of all – “you”! Early in my life you were “my protector” and later became “my inspiration”. I admired you for your faith and ever positive attitude. You and Regina made me feel very special – having me in your Wedding, and then as the Godmother of your first born. We will always remember you as a loving couple, and our prayers and lots of love are with you, Regina. Today is Mom and Dad’s Wedding Anniversary, and I was thinking of you there with everyone “dancing with the angels”… Bucky, you so enjoyed watching your westerns – John Wayne, Bonanza, etc. – I can see you watching them now…maybe that’s what you are doing too…So, we won’t say good-bye…just “Happy Trails…’til we meet again”. We love you so much. “Big Warm Hug”, Sis & Carl”

Remember all of the happy times that you shared with him and he will never be far away. “
