He was married to Helen Zaputil in Aberdeen, August 21, 1948 and had worked for several other logging companies before retiring in 1983 as a logging supervisor for Anderson & Middleton of Hoquiam.

His passion in retirement was photography and was always off to a new location with camera and tripod over his shoulder. He family and friends loved the prints he shared with them.

In January 2008 Buck moved from his home in Montesano to Westhaven Villa in Aberdeen where he lived until his death.

Buck and Helen had no children but enjoyed spending time with their five nieces and nephews.

A gathering of family and friends will be held in the Dorothy Mann Reception Room at Fern Hill Funeral Home, Monday, July 16th at 2 PM. A private family graveside will have taken place in Fern Hill Cemetery.
