Dear Madelyn & Family
  Sorry to read of "Bucky’s passing.  Enjoyed seeing him occasionally
and conversing on various subjects.
  Mostly meeting where we got our hair cut — by the same lady.
  Always a true gentleman and always felt good that he replaced me on the
 Warwick Twp. board.
    Cannot believe he is gone — the most friendly Lititz area person
  I knew !
                      God Bless

I’m very saddened by our loss of Bucky. We were friends and classmates, unfortunately losing contact after graduation. He was truly a success both personally and professionally.

Please accept our condolences to Bonnie and family on the passing of Bucky.

I remember Irel as one of my favorite cousins and we had such fun together, being the same age, when we visited Lancaster. Please know how dear he was to our family (Shanks)and my condolences to all of his family and close relatives. I was glad to have visited with him several years ago at Mom and Dad’s (Charles Shank) and will always think of him fondly.

Love to all,

Dear Bunny and Family ~

We are so very saddened to learn of your loss and brutal grief.. Irel was always very kind to me in school. I was just a little farm girl, but he always treated me with respect.. good memory for me.

You and your family are in our prayers as you adjust to your necessary ‘new normal’ . May your hearts be encouraged to stay close, loving each other and pulling together. Blessings of peace for each new day.

Dear Bunnie, Kim, Kerry, Andrew, & R.D.,

I was shocked and so saddened to hear of Bucky’s passing. I have many wonderful memories of your family, and Bucky was certainly a big part of those! I think I was about 12 when I began babysitting for Kim & Kerry, and I remember he always had the gift of putting one at ease and showing genuine interest. Bucky will be missed by many, but I know the biggest hole will be within your family. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Peg (Beachy) Eason

I had the honor of meeting Irel in the commercial real estate industry; I also had the great joy of placing his sunflowers on my table, his pumpkins on my front steps.  I’m thankful for both.

The family is in thought and prayer.  God Bless!
