To all of Mr Buck’s families, saddened to hear of his passing, but knowing he is enjoying all the sights of Heaven. When we moved over 20 plus years ago into the Damascus Water System, Mr. Buck was very helpful getting city water to our area. He was a very smart man, gentle giant, we will never forget how much he did for us. Our sincere prayers are with all of you and pray God will be with all of you each & every day. We love you all.
