He was a kind and gentle man always ready to tell a corny joke about everything. I'm sorry I am not able to be there to share this sad time with you. I remember how he was hoping to strike it rich by searching out treasure on the beach and how important it was for him to ride his bike to Mass everyday.
Lots of Love to Aunt Bunny and to all of you.

How you must miss "Bucky". He was the sweetest, most unselfish man I know . He always had a kind word, cheerful disposition and giving heart even when suffering. I treasure memories from 50+ years ago when I would stay at your home and help with all the little ones. Yes, you kids were a handful!!Bucky was always the picture of patience, and someone who leaves us with nothing but the best of memories and an example of good living. I am sorry I cannot be there to day goodbye.
