SUCH WONDERFUL MEMORIES...
Bucky was always full of Joy and Laughter and spread them to everyone who knew him.
Bucky, myself, our Brother Buddy Krebs and Craig Adair had a great time in Advanced Design Class at Sprayberry High School and Bucky was my tackling partner in spring practice football UNTIL we hit head-on, helmet-to-helmet one day, where my helmet actually split and Coach Frazier couldn't believe his eyes UNTIL he saw me trying to lift my neck from deep within my shoulders "LOL"... MY 128 POUNDS vs. BUCKY'S OVER 200 POUNDS WAS AN AWESOME HEADACHE.
I always credited Bucky as being The Special Person in my life who helped me to make up my mind, once and for all time, that Baseball is my sport and so it is.
Strangely, I mourned the fact for several years that I had heard Bucky had been killed in Vietnam, but most Thankfully finally found that wasn't true.
BUCKY IS DEARLY MISSED AND WE SALUTE HIS SERVICE AND SACRIFICE FOR OUR GREAT NATION AND THE FREE WORLD FROM OUR HEARTS.
MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL.
I deeply apologize for taking so long to share my words here. My Precious Wife Dorrie went Home to our Living God just several days ago (April 7, 2016). We would have Celebrated our 52nd Wedding Anniversary this next September 5, 2016.
She was a major stroke survivor since December 9, 1998 and having 44 major surgeries the past 46 years and is a True Champion for our Precious Lord Christ Jesus Yeshua and All.
I am torn beyond words and miss her sooo much, but I choose to Thank The Good Lord for the countless times I was able to bring her back home with me, instead of focusing on this one time the answer was no, because our Heavenly Father wanted to give Dorrie total healing from all the torment and pain she and I suffered so many years.
I wish to share the following The Good Lord placed in my Heart almost immediately after my Sweetheart of over 54 years went Home:
"GRIEF... GRIEF IS SUCH A WONDERFULLY TERRIBLE THING.
IT REACHES DEEP INTO THE RECESSES OF THE HEART, TEARS IT APART AND
HEALS ALL AT THE SAME TIME. WHERE THERE IS GRIEF, THERE TOO IS TRUE LOVE PERSONIFIED AND REVEALED."
God Bless You All,
Wayne M. Rose (and Dorrie) <((((><
Janie, I am thinking of you and your family at this time. I know you all were veryclose and I always saw you and Bucky supporting your girls and many others through the years. So sorry for your loss. Praying for you, girl.

Dear Janie and family. I was so saddened to hear of your loss. I know your heart is broken now but God has a way of giving comfort when ever it's needed. I will always remember "Bucky's bunker" which still gives me a smile, and what a wonderful father and husband he was.
Dear Family:
I was so very saddened to hear from my brother of Bucky's passing. I went to high school with Bucky and after he joined the Marines when he was on leave we even dated some as friends. I always was taken by his joy of life and his funny sense of humor. We always had fun times together. From the photos, it is apparent that he continued his life with joy and love for his family and friends. My deepest sympathy goes out to you all. I know you will miss his smile and laughter so much.
