Condolences to the Family

May 18, 2023

Our condolences to Helene and all of Buck’s family. As neighbors for 17 years, Buck was always there, always friendly and helpful. The last time we saw each other was when we were on our way home from a Syracuse vs UVA lacross game on the highway. We recognized Buck in his jeep and waved to each other.  I imagine he was up there fishing somewhere. We have fond memories talking with Buck in the yard. He was a great neighbor.
