I've been in tears about this since Saturday.
Buck worked with my 18E's first team, and my son is godfather to his youngest daughter. Buck had asked him to go fishing with them, but he couldn't make it, so they had made plans to get together the next day. This has been very hard on my 18E. RIP Buck. You will not be forgotten. |
In pace requiescat SSG Rietkerk.
