  11. The first time I saw you, you were on a lawn mower cutting grass during Covid. I asked who is that cutting grass at 5am in the morning? They said Captain Buck. You were a great leader that lead by example. Not only were you a great leader but you cared about your people beyond the gates. Thank you for your love and support. You will truly be missed.
