So sorry for your loss. Our families thoughts and prayers are with yours at this difficult time. Mr. Davis was so good to the youth as I grew up in Rockland. Having founded the Senior Boys Basketball League gave plenty of us who were not good enough for the High School team to still be able to play in a very competitive league. I know I will always be thankful of that!

Sorry for your loss. I met Fred in Mansfield at the "chocolate factory" where I was a maintenance worker. He was well liked there. A great man!

To my Aunt Jean, and my cousins Freddie, Billy, Brenda, Julie, Joyce & Chris: I will always remember my Uncle Bucky as having taught me one of life's most important lessons: Always approach life with a sense of humor. Whatever life throws your way, catch it, put a humorous spin on it, and toss it back out there, to make the world a better place. He taught me to remember to have fun, and to try to be child-like. There is little that a heartfelt smile, and bellowing laughter can't fix, and that is my Uncle in a nutshell. I love you all. Carolyn

Dear Jean, We just learned about the passing of Bucky from Mike Psomos. We are very sorry for your loss. Although we had not seen much of you in recent years, we have very fond memories of you and Bucky in our younger years. I grew up in Bucky's neighborhood (Mather School) played ball against the "Chiselers" and later spent a lot of time together later in our "bachelor" years. He was a great guy and always kept us laughing. We wish the very best for you and your family and will always cherish our past friendship. We were away on a trip and could not attend the wake, otherwise we would have been there. Regards, Harry & Jeanne Valencia
