We just heard this afternoon of Buck’s passing and wanted to send our regards to all his family. Jean and I had the pleasure of knowing Buck through work at ADCO over many years, and seeing his family grow through those days. No doubt he will be missed by all. Our condolences,
Skip and Jean Fairall
Some of my favorite memories were at the Adco picnics at the lake. Air Distributing family was a huge part of ours.
Thank you for everything you did for Dad Skip. You gave him a means to support his family and helped him out of some jams along the way. There’s a reason you had so many people work years for you. They were loyal to you because you were loyal to them.
What a great man, and friend. We enjoyed working on Hotrods and he loved his car shows. I will miss you my Good Friend. Rest in peace. Prayers for his family🙏❤️
