Laurie wrote on Mar 21, 2014:

"Bucky loved to walk my dog Jack. He was a 200 pound Great Dane that could eat off the shelf standing on all fours. Bucky decided to take a walk with Jack while we were camping in the Allegheny's. The rest of us continued to enjoy camping, eating, and drinking. Three or four hours later a park ranger pulled up to our campsite and Buck got out of the truck and was not happy with us. He walked around the back of the truck and put the tailgate down and yelled at us to come get our GD dog. Apparently Buck had more stamina than Jack did because about an hour into their walk Jack sat down on the side of the road and refused to get up. Bucky couldn't get the dog to do anything. Finally the park ranger drove by and Bucky had to flag him down to help him. It took both the ranger and Bucky to pick up Jack to get him into the back of the truck to bring him back to the campsite. Thank God he came back the fire was almost out."

"We were all camping in Hamlin on the corner lot. There was a large street light in front of our campsite. Thank God we had Bucky because he climbed that pole like Spiderman to unscrew that bulb. Only Bucky would climb a light pole to make his friends happy campers."

"Camping in the Allegheny's we ran out of fire wood the day before we were leaving, Bucky said "lets drive around and find wood". So with beer in our hands we doused fires and put the burning fire wood in the back of the van. Smoke was coming out of all the windows. Out of beer we keep gathering burning wood until the wood in the van starting to catch on fire. Eventually we had go back to the campsite to unload the van for our fire."

"Buck always had a smile and great stories. I saw him camping, some Halloweens and few times in-between. He always made people laugh. He said he called everyone buck because if he called the girls "buckette" no one hears the "t-e" they only hear "bucket"! Everyone will miss Bucky."
