Totally senseless. I hope your many happy memories of Buck and his family will sustain you and bring you comfort.Zookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817319553028368518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724477472041635030.post-35693475014849347042011-06-20T10:50:35.440-07:002011-06-20T10:50:35.440-07:00Thanks, Mary.

All I ever find to write about are friends getting sick or passing away far too young. I thought blogging was supposed to be fun.<br /><br />It is a sad time. My memories of Buck and the family go back to church and running around Interlachen Park when I was 10-15 years old. And, yes, it is hard to figure the whole thing out...will tinkhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07786644161583999164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724477472041635030.post-14139738562116657672011-06-20T08:07:47.578-07:002011-06-20T08:07:47.578-07:00Nice, Bill.

As always, your writing is a joy, even when it's so very painful.<br /><br /> It's been a couple of blurry days, but I still can't get my brain and heart around this. Such a good man, such beautiful kids, such a terrific family. Gone.<br /><br /> I never watched a single episode of the Simpsons without thinking of Buck as Bart Simpson. There is something about that whole Hazlett family who, from the moment I stepped foot into Eisenhower and Hopkins, embodied the soul of that town for me. And Buck most of all. I was out of town for the benefit for Kevin, and I hadn't seen Buck in years. But, as the song goes, "I always thought I'd see him again." My heart goes out to all of the Hazletts, and the legions who love them. <br /><br />Sadly, I'll see you soon, Bill.<br /><br /> Love, MaryMary Mithunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220578805425701355noreply@blogger.com
