twhitaker Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I received this today from Jack Arnold, the Ohio MGNOC Rep and longtime friend of Bucky. I just got this sad news a little while ago. I talked to Jean and she said that Buck had went straight through an intersection and hit a car. They say he few 100ft. and it took a while to find him. He had landed in an Orange Grove. He was Life Flighted to Tampa where he died. His mother and sister were down here at the time. I am also in Orlando and when I get any further news I will contact you.

RichMaund Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 This is really tearing me up. Bucky's was the first Guzzi Rally I ever attended and has been my favorite ever since. He was one wild character and a heck of a guy. I'm gonna miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twhitaker Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Maggie and I rode the bike to Steubenville OH last night for the funeral today. 220 miles with the temperatures hovering around freezing made for a good cold weather trial of our gear. A 20 mile, 1 1/2 hour, detour off I-70 due to a flooded portion of the road sure tried our patience. The weather held out in both directions giving us a dry road at least on the ride home today. It was kind of misty last night. We got to the funeral home about 1/2 hour early. There were 4 bikes that attended. There were about 2 dozen there that I recognized as Guzzisti. Gerry Mees got up for a eulogy and he was followed by Jamie Mueller of Grand Rapids Guzzi representing MGNOC. We rode on to the cemetary where an Honor Guard served a ceremony handing Buckys mother the flag. There was a follow up at the Baptist church and another at a bar nearby where most of the 2 dozen gathered. Bucky would have wanted it that way.
