You always knew Buck was near as he whistled as he went about his daily chores. He loved his family, especially his granddaughter Miranda who cared for him along with her dad over the last six and a half weeks. He was always willing to help and spent many years donating platelets for his friend and other cancer patients.
Visitation and services will be held at Ourso Funeral Home, Airline Highway, Gonzales on Saturday, August 10, 2019. Visitation from 9:30AM until celebration of life service at 11AM, celebrated by Deacon Randy Clement.
The family would like to thank Stephanie Hutchinson of Servants Heart Services for dropping everything and coming every time Stephan called her. Also, thanks to Baton Rouge Hospice for their kind and considerate help throughout the last four weeks. Last by not least, they ask that you consider giving the gift of life by donating blood or platelets in Buck’s honor.
