Buckle always had a smile on his face. A good Christian man who loved his family and the Lord. yes he could tell some stories and was enjoyable to be around May he rest in Peace as he rises in glory. Prayers from Beverly and the family as they navigate through this very sad time
Buckie was always a great support to me at FBTC, and we shared the love of Bama football, though his collection of merchandise far exceeded mine. I know he’ll be missed, especially by his family.
Miss my big brother. He almost always had a smile for everyone he met. His wife, children and grandchildren were a blessing for him.
