Uncle Buck, My heart is sad that you are gone and defiantly will miss you. You have always been an important part of my life. Always loving and caring even when you were away in the military. Please look after daddy for me. I know he is happy to have the four of you six siblings together along with grandma and grandpa. I will always keep you in my heart and cherish the memories of you.
Love and miss you.
