My prayers go out to him and those he left behind. He will be missed. May he rest in God’s peace.
My sympathies to the passing of a great man who meant so much to a special grandson.
I have known and liked Mr. Buckner and his wife for a long time and was very sorry to read of his death. I will miss him. I am also a member of Calvary Baptist Church.

behind their ears. We will miss seeing him daily.We will
never forget him.
I just wanted to say that my prayers are with all of you.
