Nancy and Family,
I am so very sorry to learn the news about Buck’s passing. He was definitely one of my all time favorite people. I’m glad I was able to walk out to the car to speak with him the last time he and Nancy stopped by my office, to see his smiling face and hear his true Southern Gentleman voice. I will miss his proactive phone calls asking me about the potential upcoming tax issues, discussing our thoughts on the consequences and seeing him zip around town in the Eldorado. If there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to reach out and ask. Hugs and prayers for you all during this time.
Nancy & Family-Our thoughts are with you on Buck’s passing. What a fine gentleman and a great business colleague over the years….Wonderful memories!
