Buck's upbringing instilled in him a sense of responsibility, reliability and a strong work ethic. Buck carried his work ethic into his career at Teufel's Nursery and then with Cascadian Landscaping, where he retired.
In his younger years, Buck enjoyed playing the guitar at church and in his brother in-law's band. He also enjoyed hunting with his neighbors, later with his son in-laws, and then with his son. He loved being outdoors, training and riding horses, and could often be found sitting on his four wheeler in the pasture talking to the animals.
People were family to him; he showed comfort and compassion when needed but was strong and firm when appropriate.
