Buck, who treasured and loved his family, is survived by his childhood sweetheart and wife, Debbie, and their three wonderful children: Michael, Christy (and Mark Jacobs), and Melanie (and Daniel Lewis), twelve grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Surviving also are Buck’s four sisters: Lucy, Helen, Janet, and Mary.
After serving in Vietnam with the Marines, he worked at Haynes Int., where he was known as “O.E.” Buck was also a lifetime member of HCVVO.
Buck will receive a private service due to COVID, but a celebration of life will be planned at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations should be redirected towards the HCVVO’s Healing Field.
