Buck and I first met when we completed our Firestars in 1993 or 1994. His journeys were always an inspiration for the rest of the Sullivan gang but we could never accomplish as much as he did. He will be remembered with fondness and stories.

No one expects the coin collector to use his coins in a vending machine for soda, but his sister did! I will miss you my dear brother. We had that special bond even when I was bad! RIP and thanks for being you. I love you.
So sorry I didn't get to have one more beer with you!! Though I've only known you a short time, your smile and humor will be missed. Thank-you for your service and for being you...and never making me throw you out of Merz on Main or the American Legion! Fly high friend, fly high!! My deepest sympathies you Mrs. Buck and entire family.
