Unca Buck - What to say? We will all miss you. Even though you didn't grow up over here, you were just a natural part of the 'George Boys'. No 4th of July or Apple Blossom was complete without you. Rest in peace my friend. Kenbo

Hey Buck, the parties on! We are all getting together on the 7th of March, 2009, from 3:00 until 10:00, at the Lacamas Community Club, 32113 8th Ave So, Roy, WA, 98580. From your house go straight out Pacific Ave to the Roy Y, right at the Y to 8th Ave South (Harts Lake Loop Road) where you take a left. Careful, there are two left hand turns there, take the second left. Straight out to the community club, which is on the left hand side of the road heading out. If you are coming from a different direction, get directions from Mapquest or Googlemaps. DON'T get lost and end up in Roy or Yelm! You know how those cops hate you!! Since you only left a small stash of homemade wine, which will go quickly, we are asking your friends to BYOB. This is going to be a pot-luck party, so we are asking them to bring a favorite dish to share, and any photos they may have of the man-of-the-hour they'd like to show off. We're also gonna auction off some Buck memorabilia, so everyone can have a chance at something of yours to keep. Your football, baseball, bat and glove that we played with for so many years as kids are all safe with me. Carry on.

Buck, WOW its hard to believe its been almost 25 years since we were a team!! I can remember almost going ove the 15' waterfall- we ended up walking our rafts through the sticker bushes while the other 'loonies' decided to try and make the rapids and not go over the edge (they made it!!) thanks to Frank for all your scouting Buck loved to raft-- I think the Green River was always my favorite... or Lopez Island wow what a place (HATE the BEES!!) Trox saved our butt when we fell asleep in the boat and didn't drop anchor floated to hell and back in the wild currents (boy was everyone mad at us)thank God we stayed close to the Island!! Bobby I'll never forget coming home from work - you and Buck were partying - sitting in the hot tub - didn't save ANY for JILL- I bitched until you guys leaned back.. looked up at the tree's and said 'tree's the simple life....' you guys LOST it with laughter I just couldn't relate then but the memory sticks with me today when things get stressful I here those words... looking forward to seeing all my old friends and especially giving June a big hug....JILL

What a guy! You will be missed buy so many people on so many different levels. I knew Buck as a friend (through Tim Manning), a awesome hairdresser and as a patient I cared for when one of his nine lives were spent in a MVA. Buck never, never, never lost the natural connection he had with people to make them love him and want him for a best friend. Buck will always be remembered in my heart with that big smile and ok great hair! Rest in peace my friend....

'Hey wino' were always your first words to me when Frank I would come over to work on wine, and the boisterous greeting was then followed with a big hug! Wine-making will never be the same without you but I will be sure that you get a taste test of every new batch! I was always amazed that you kept in contact with so many of your school mates, child-hood friends, and many other friends. Friends were important to you, and each one just as special as the next. You sure picked alot of fun ones! Oh...and I always knew who I would get my first Christmas card from...which would start out with 'Hey Wino!'. I love you and am happy to have had all the fun party times with you. You will be remembered by many. See ya 'Wino' :)

My Dear friend Buck. One week short of our planned lunch/happy hour event at Spud's. No more Birthday celebrations. How impossible it seems I will never see your smiling face in person again. My heart is heavy and my spirit is sad. I miss you my friend. 25 years is a long time to reflect on memories and laughing. Always smiling and ready with a good story. My loss of having you to renew my spirit will be a difficult one to handle. Thank you especially for helping with all the ladies hairdressing for our wedding ceremony 10 years ago. I appreciate this photo of your smiling face. WE will always remember your kind heart, homemade wine, and 'lets go have a beer' whenever I was leaving the Salon. My love goes with you Buck.

Buck, I met you back in 85 at cousin Ricks house. You were a family friend every since that day to me. I will miss you very much. Joline's Clam Bake won't be the same with out you. I remember Seafair back in the 80's when we were all on Frank's big air raft. Boy those were good times. Hey, save me a seat where your at, because I will be bringing the ice cold beer my friend. Love you brother.. Lenny.

I knew Buck from just after High School. I would not say we were terribly close but we knew each other well and spent many a party together throughout the 70's and early 80's. While I have MANY fond and funny memories, my favorites were always the camping trips to the Lopez Island. Buck would put his tent up out in the baking sun, anchoring the group with one of two communal campfire pits. One year he took my boat out for spin (with his 'guest' of course). I don't recall a time I'd seen the weather change that quickly. It had been partly cloudy, slight breeze, and mid 80's. Within 45 minutes it was pouring rain and gusts must have been hitting 40 knots. A messenger came down to the beach and reported they'd been able to beach it in McKay Harbor, safe, on the OPPOSITE side of the island. This could have ended badly but, hey, it was Buck! This guy had more lives than a cat AND, always came out giggling and smiling from ear to ear. Buck, to me, was one of a core group of friends who remain very dear to me. All of them! We lost one other a few years ago too. I will continue to miss riding in his MG with the top down during the hot summer evenings on our way to get 'mo beer' at Renners! Buck, you'll be missed by all and I'll always remember you with that smile. Peace, brother.

Over our many years of friendship Buck was always up for something new to do. (Don't forget the beer) We spent time hiking river bottoms & 'lofty' peaks in the Cascade foothills. Especially nice was the multi-tiered waterfalls above Eatonville where you are able to walk behind the cascade and marvel at the power of nature. Go after a rain event and they are very spectacular. Or in the summer when the falls diminish to a 'bridal veil', no less spectacular. From mountains to the ocean for big seafood picnics or razor clam digging in the dead of winter with rain & wind & midnight minus tides. That's adventure. Better have some brandy...and...there was the fun times on Bay Lake when we rented that cabin for a year and became 'locals', if only in our own minds. More canoeing there and the usual antics of two bachelors. And back to big adventure on Puget Sound...sailing a small boat with big plans. There was a trip down the Narrows, huge whitecaps, all other boats coming in when we went out. Sailing with jib only, water blasting over the bow...Yeah! That's living...I miss you so much. Thank you for all of it...

I am at a complete loss of words. I cannot imagine not having our long talks on the phone, catching up on what we have been up to. I will miss having you at my mom's on Xmas Eve when I was in town. You were the first person to take me in under your wing when I walked into that lonely homeroom at Mt Tahoma and we became fast friends immediately. I remember when we were called in to the principles office letting us know that he heard we were going to wear roller skates to our graduation and were told if we did so, we would not receive our diplomas. Buck, you leave me with many wonderful, loving and funny memories. I bet you have already found Jimmy and Janis. Your blue jean buddy misses you already. I love you Buck

Buck, you were my first date. We were 11 or 12. Your Dad drove us to the Parkland Theater. I don't remember the movie but I do and always will remember you. We miss you, keep an eye out for all of us here. I know we'll all see each other again. 'On the Day I Die' from the Soul of Rumi: On the day I die, when I'm being carried toward the grave, don't weep. Don't say he's gone! He's gone! Death has nothing to do with going away. The sun sets and the moon sets, but they're not gone. Death is a coming together. The tomb looks like a prison, but it's really release into union. The human seed goes down in the ground like a bucket into the well where Joseph is. It grows and comes up full of some unimagined beauty. Your mouth closes here and immediately opens with a shout of joy there.

What a kind, fun friend and neighbor! Every salon visit came with not only a good haircut but great conversation and a delicious glass of wine. I loved Buck's quick wit and sense of humor.

In describing Buck to others, it was easiest to say 'he was just Buck' as he really did have a distinctly fun and wonderful personality. The world will never be the same with out his smiling face. He always made a room brighter and more fun! I'll always miss you Buck, and love you too!

What is a best friend? This is a question that until recently, I thought (as we all think) I knew. But as I ponder this question, it seems to be much more complicated to answer. My best friend Buck Heater was, as all best friends, special in more ways than I can ever tell. We were friends from the 2nd grade. Doing all the things young boys do, baseball, football, scouts. There were those vacations that his parents would reluctantly drag me along on. I thought the world of Verne and June. Then came the teenage years. TRYING FOR ALL OF US. Buck and I shared our boyish thoughts about the cutest girls in school (never agreeing) Boys will be boys. Then there were our 'twenties'. Boy was that a time in our lives I will never forget! Each of us trying to find our own direction. Buck chose cosmetology and later became a massage therapist. I went in to the trucking business and married the love of my life.Buck was my best man and came to be known as Uncle Buck to my two sons. Buck and his mother spent many Christmas dinners with us. As life often does, it threw us all a curve when the good Lord called Buck home I will miss you more than words can say. Good bye old friend. I love you.
