I knew and enjoyed my friendship with Buck. We crossed service in several commands: USS Yorktown, USS Independence, HS-10. Not serving at the same time, but leaving our marks somewhere. We did serve together on staff at COMASWINGSPAC. But most of all, I loved the comradeship and sea story swapping in association with reunion lunches with Retired Helo Pilots.  Great guy to know. Condolences to the family.
