Buck was an intelligent, witty, and well-traveled guy who always had great stories to tell. We married Trevino sisters, making us what we referred to as Broter-Out-Laws. Godspeed, Buckaroo, and lots of Love and Big Hugs to all family and friends. I raise a Kellers’ #5 Special to one of my favorite buddies.. 🕊️❤️🕊️
