Guestbook

  1. My grandfather was a wonderful man. He always brought a smile to my face and he always had the ability to tell a joke. My grandpa accepted me for who I was and never cast judgement on me. I felt privileged to have him in my life. I hope that my grandpa is resting in peace. I miss my Grandpa very much, but I know that he is in my heart. I love you Grandpa… RIP

  2. I found it funny that after all the years I ve known him, I never knew his name was Louis. Ive heard him called Buck ofcourse, but I always called him dad. Ive been best friends with Kenneth for several years, and always enjoyed giving the old man a hard time, which of course was reciprocated. Gonna miss you dad, and all the fun ribbing we did towards each other. Im gonna help Kenneth find a decent mayonnaise jar for ya and find a special spot on the mantle as you joked about. RIP. Save a spot where ever you are.

  3. It was a honor and a privilege to had a chance to known Buck. I remember the nights that me and Ken would visit him at the Nursery he was securing and just standing around talking for a few hours. It was an honor to be able to open my house up to Buck for his final days and make it where he was able to enjoy his final days. He will be missed.

  4. I was Buck’s friend from Puerto Rico. We have never seen each other. But once in a while I spoke to Buck thru Maysonet’s cellphone via call transfer. I met him thru Rex E. Maysonet. Am very sorry he is no longer with us, but now he is not suffering any pain, now he is resting waiting to wake up in Paradise. Please do not suffer with his parture, be glad that he is not suffering anymore. His spirit will be with God until the time to wake him up. Very soon we will all see him again. Hold on to that thought.

  5. Buck lives on in our hearts and memories. He was dearly loved and will be greatly missed!

  6. Dad I love you and i will always remember the great times we had. I will never forget when you took me on the road with you and i saw alot of cool places. that was the best time of my life. Thank you for always being there for me dad. There is no one in this world that could ever replace you. You are the best father that anyone could ever ask for. You have taught me alot of things about life. I am glad you took the time to teach me stuff. I love you dad and will never forget you. I will miss you dad. Without you, Dad, I wouldn’t be The man I am today

  7. I remember first knowing of Buck through a conference call with my father while I was in Germany! Once in Texas (2003), my father decided it was “safe” to meet Buck in person. You see, Buck had a way with words that would make a person wet their pants and have sore abs if not prepared—I was finally prepared—or so I thought! Buck became a household name and our conference calls a tradition. Seeing who could be wittier of the three was a challenging game. It was always “Sexy” Buck and my father who said something that kept me speechless… I know at this time there is no adequate console to our loss. Buck shared his positive spirit with everyone he came in contact with; and he will be sorely missed. Buck’s laughter, wisdom, and witty conversation will remain an irrevocable part of our lives. Kenneth, Carrie, Kevin, Mr. Wilson and Christine — Thank you and your families for opening your doors and hearts to my father and our family. I am extremely grateful for your hospitality. Allowing us to part take during these last few months was incredibly generous. Please take comfort and seek strength in the wonderful memories Buck left for us. His legacy remains for those he left behind, that will one day reunite in absolute paradise.

  8. FAREWELL MY FRIEND A Blessed Human Being It was the year 2000 at a security officer’s course in Marion, Texas were we met and there was the beginning of a lasting friendship. Our friendship endured difficult times. When one of us were down there was a true friend’s hand to help you get up and go. We greatly shared and enjoyed those good jokes. Watched for each other and helped each other when the going got tough. For those that did not know you very well, this is what I can say: A U.S. Marine Corp member that served his country proudly, a man that took care of his wife up to her last days, a father proud of all his off springs. He was proud of his daughters and proud of his sons and looking out for the welfare of the family. But there was these little ones that he was always fond of, his grand children, he loved his “grandpa and grand children” bonding time. In the last months I saw that special shine in his eyes and remembered his words: “I have a very special woman in my life”. You were right, Kerry is a special woman. My friend hope you did enjoy that beer that I could not drink (not a drinker). You completed your mission in hearth and departed to meet His Holiness, but you still alive in our hearts, there is this little corner in my heart reserved for you. In behave of the Maysonet family: Carol, Frances, Nora, Lucy, Rex, and the little ones that met you; Cielo, Dezaray, Gabriella, Darien, Victoria, and Clift Jr. Rest In Peace my FRIEND. SEMPER FI.
