Parent of Classmate death

Here is another death in the KHS65 community, that of the father of Bob (KHS65) and Rick Buckles. They were Robinsonites and you fellows active in Scouts I think will remember them. Rick might have been in KHS69, somewhere around then. They lived in that wonderful house set up on the hill on the north side of Big Bend overlooking the countryside down the hill and out toward what is now I 44.

  1. I am sorry that I've missed the death notices of both Mr and Mrs Buckles. The Buckles house (on Grandview) and the Halwe house (on Marjean Ct) backed up to one another. Bob and I were friends...had overnights, etc. I always thought Mr Buckles was pretty neat...I remember the garage expansion, the house addition...the patio construction...and even building a camping trailer. Bob and Rick...you had great parents!
