I met Uncle Buck through a member of his immediate family and I must say that he left a memorable impression on me. He was such a loving person. One that was always genuine with those he encountered. I will always remember him this way and while there were only a few events that I can say I was blessed to share with him, they are the moments that I cherrish most. I know that this time for the family is rough, but trust in the LORD and know that weeping may endure for a night but Joy comes in the morning. Uncle Buck was Uncle Buck to all the had the opportunity to meet him, and Uncle Buck was Uncle Buck to me as well.
