Just thinking this week about how proud Larry would be of Jim as a firefighter and continuing important career.

Larry, wherever you are in eternity, I imagine you are glad to be out of all this political arguing and fighting. Those of us who remain are trying to preserve this wonderful country, and we think of your peaceful and calm nature. I miss the opportunity to talk with you and share what is good in our lives. All our kids are grown, with kids of their own...sometimes I feel like a dinosaur. Much more fun to return to those days in Germany when we played with model soldiers and equipment in Germany...and the trains! I will never forget in Des Moines, when mom went into a panic not knowing exactly where you were and a train was coming down the tracks next to our house. BTW, those tracks are now replaced by a jogging, biking path. Rest easy, brother.
Ralph

Dad,
Thinking of you on your birthday. You had a unique style, and lived it 100% your way. Strong conviction, a loving heart, and a brilliant mind. Many fun memories, our time together was always special. Just wish we had more time. What I miss most of all is being able to pickup the phone and hear your words of wisdom - or your laughter. You always gave both in large quantity!
Love,
Clem

Remembering so many great times with Dad on his birthday. You were always teaching, even when I didn't realize it. A great mind and a great heart - tough act to follow!  Lorie's birthday was last week, she followed you but too soon. A great couple. Think of you both all the time. Love, Clem

RIP forever, Larry. You are oft remembered. And to your beloved, faithful & true spouse, Lorrie, prayers for your life without my nutty brother! Condolences to all the CT Buck family clan.

It is hard to comprehend that Larry has been gone a year. Brother, father, grandfather, husband...he left something of himself with each of us. Some unique characteristic. Some special memory.

I don't believe there has been a day that something hasn't reminded me of him, or I connect a memory to him. The objects in my house from my parents and their parents, active mementos if you will, cement my memory of Larry.

I am also most eternally grateful to him for a special service he provided to me, unasked, when I, the supposedly successful one, was at a very low point in my life. It was my privilege to be able to apply his help to rebuild my confidence and life and ultimately repay his generosity.

As sad and bereft as we were...and are...I believe he is in eternal service now, working without pain or anxiety or weakness, to serve others. Our family has always had a fundamental faith, that each has manifested uniquely, in the higher power most call God. We may or may not have a renewed personal relationship in eternity, but there is and always will be a connection among us.

In Peace, with Grace on this day...

A year already? seems like yesterday and then again so long ago?
I think he took good care of his loving wife's future, so she is surviving
her loss comfortably. Thinking of Larry and Lorie on this solemn year anniversary.Wonder how many rainbows he has seen from above?

Every day is a new day after LDB. I keep moving forward with a happy heart filled with so many happy memories and smiles that Larry shared with me each day of our romance. So much love to last forever.

Yes, I miss him so much...My little brother. I still well remember when he came home with mom after birth. I was at my dad's mother's home and was very honored to be the first family member after mom & dad to hold the little bundle. From then on we wrestled, hassled, joked, and played tricks on each other. Yes, and ocassionally fought, but always loved each other. We shared a passion for model trains and I was so proud of him for learning to fly, and running his BIG trains as conductor & then Engineer. I think he was proud of me too as the first in the family to obtain a masters degree, pilot helicopters for the Navy, and have a girl child...LOL
He was not the littlest Danish/Swiss/ English/German Buck, however - I remember when we were both spellbound as we saw tiny Don arrive in Germany, where dad was stationed after WWII. I recall we fought over minding him, especially during the grand uropean tour before we returned to the States.
Miss him? YES! But will always remember "Sven." I love you, Bro.
"Oley."

I have a lot to say about my Dad, but at this time I will just say my Dad's loving way and sense of humor will always stay with me. He showed me so much, cared so much, and loved so much. Thanks for all the great times, Dad <3

Remembering Larry and his fondness for Ice cream! And the twinkle in his eyes when he Looked at Lorie doing silly things! and who keeps snakes in their rock piles under their sheds???Uncle Larry!Thanks for the memories, R I P
