William Scott Rhinesmith was a caring, talented, charming and joyful son, brother, cousin, nephew and friend. Known to his loved ones as, “Bucky,” he was the laughter and light in every situation. Bucky enjoyed living life to the fullest, exploring his dreams, and being surrounded by his family and friends who he truly cherished.
Scott is the son of William and Rosemarie Rhinesmith, and little brother to Dana Rhinesmith. The Rhinesmith family lived in Kinnelon, NJ, where Bucky was brought up in a home filled with love and laughter. His grandparents were Anna & Lonnie Rhinesmith and Philip & Rita Cortese. Being the great grandson he was, Bucky took care of his Sitto every step of the way, as he was a good hearted, loving boy.
Bucky and his big sister Dana shared a bond greater than anyone else. Not only were they brother and sister, they were each other’s best friend. They enjoyed spending every moment together, whether it be swimming in their grand pool or hanging out with their family, friends, or childhood super dog, Spanky, who he loved dearly.
Bucky played football in school as a young child and enjoyed fishing, dirt bikes and dancing. He excelled in dance with the help of his sister and mother, and won two dance contests in Z Cavaricci’s. Bucky had many talents, but his true passion could be seen and tasted in the kitchen. From a young child he was fascinated by cooking and went on to hone his talents at the New England Culinary School in West Palm Beach, FL.
Buck was well travelled. Some of his favorite destinations were: the Caribbean, Mexico, and Europe, but he especially loved spending his summers at the NJ shore, on Point Pleasant Beach with his extended family.
Everyone who was blessed to have been a part of Bucky’s life will always remember the great William Scott (Bucky) Rhinesmith, he was just “the coolest.”
The caring, talented and humorous Bucky, loved by all, passed away on August 20, 2012 on his dear friend’s yacht. He is survived by his mother, father and sister and was laid to rest in the Gardens Mausoleum.
