I am so sorry to hear of Bucky's passing. He was a great neighbour to my parents for years and always had a joke to tell. My condolences to Kirk and family. Rest easy now.

- Helen Kalliomaki, on January 16, 2026

Sad to hear of Bucky's passing. I grew up next door and always enjoyed Bucky's stories. When I was a child, Bucky always had the best jokes. As I grew older, the jokes become more mature as well. After leaving home and moving away, any time I returned, Bucky would have a new set of stories and jokes waiting to be shared with me. He always seemed so jovial. RIP Bucky, may your sense of humour take you far in the afterlife. To Kirk and family, please accept my sincerest condolences.

I’ve known Bucky my whole life. We grew up on Second St. and I worked with him at Mine Assay/Acklands where he kept us laughing. I loved our visits over the years and no matter how he was feeling, a quick joke was always near. He’s been on my mind lately because I haven’t seen him. Kirk and Family we send our deepest sympathy in Bucky's loss. He will be missed. He definitely will remain a loveable KL Character to many of us. Rest in Peace Bucky, Lynn and Doug Elliott

Bucky. He was the first sales rep I met in 1984 at Agnico Eagle in Cobalt. He was larger than life in his infectious, kind, world class personality. His passing is a loss for many. Truly a nice man and will be sorely missed by all he knew. Condolences to the family.

To Bucky’s family and friends: I’m so sorry to hear of Bucky’s passing. I’ve known Bucky from the early 1970s when we played hockey together in the Industrial League. I really enjoyed being with Bucky and will miss him! RIP my friend.

I am writing on behalf of Georgette Poulin. My heart is heavy after hearing about your passing Bucky! Not only was Karen one of my besties, but you were the person for whom you wanted to chat with, golf with, have dinner with or just a coffee. You always made me feel hopeful of my game while playing golf together. You were always positive no matter what the situation. That smile of yours was beautiful! Once we meet again on the other side, we can all do a round of 18 together. RIP Bucky!

Salt of the earth. Played a lot of industrial ball with Bucky....and I remember golfing in the Labour Day tournament. He would always followed me around....maybe that's why I never played well...but always enjoyed his company. Fond memories...will miss him dearly. Gordie Biggs (Mr. Biggstuff)
