LOve you brother. You know we got your back if you need us.
Steve my thoughts and concerns are with you and yours.

We are very saddened by the loss of our friend and neighbor Buck. We have been friends for over 25 years and Buck was like a Father to us. We have many memories of him like the time he took us catfishing down in South Carolina & when he remodeled our home in North Asheville. We really had some good times together. Buck was willing to help out always. He saved us in the blizzard of 1993 when we were stranded. He & Evelyn showed up with big smiles and we knew they were more than happy to help out. We have so many memories and stories to tell but most of all we think he lived life to the fullest and we will really miss him. He spoke often of Evelyn after her passing and of how much he loved and missed her and now they are together again. We love you Buck. May God keep you and comfort you in the days ahead Steve.
Steve, I am heartfully sorry for your loss and am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Steve. I have just found out about Buck’s passing and I am very sorry about your loss. It sure was a great pleasure for me to have known Buck. Although we haven’t communicated for quite a few years, Buck was a great influence for me in my early years at work. He was always direct, thoughtful, and generous. I really appreciate all that Buck did for me, and I wish you the very best going forward.
