I first remember Buck when him and Aunt Clara met and started dating, They seemed like the perfect couple. Hit it off, danced together like they'd been together all their lives. Over the yrs I would see them busy with their lives as we all were. Clara got sick and he was faithful to tend to her.
He always seemed to enjoy himself no matter where he was. Always popping off something funny, in his own way. Worked hard and was pretty smart at wheelin and dealin. LOL
I enjoyed getting to know him these past few months that we had together, visited often when he went to nursing home. He got very lonely at times. He's no longer lonely for he has many loved ones with him now. Him and A.O.Foster(grandpa) can compete on wheelin and dealin. lol, He will be missed.
Love His Neice
