Death Notice (04/06/1999)
BUCK, Carl
- In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather, who passed away November 28, 1998. God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be. He wrapped you in His loving arms and whispered, "Come with Me." You suffered much in silence, your spirit did not bend; You faced your pain with courage until the very end. You didn't deserve what you went through and so God gave you rest. Remembered and always cherished by your loving wife Janet and family.
