Martin Buck Obituary

Bro,



Its not the same without you here

I've been lost without you near

Your laugh and smirk; you made me roll

I don't think we'll ever know

Why you left us so soon



Your brothers and sister are feeling lost

We would do anything no matter the cost

To see you again and hear your voice

If only we had been given a choice

Oh How I loathe the month of June



I remember so many great things about you

Deep Down Things that we only knew

This makes it tough for me to keep going

Since we will no longer share the unknowing

Without you now I must play this tune.



I have heard the good news and believe it true

The Lord has taken your soul to renew

We are to be happy and praise His name

I will do this for you and yet just the same

It would be easier had He taken the moon



We'll never know what could've been

The world will be missing a noted kin

Wherever I go you will remain ever so close

More personal at times than the Holy Ghost

My brother who has departed this cocoon



Your last words I ever heard

Were kind and caring as always occurred

Now I must wait to see you again

The trouble with that is solely the pain

Of not knowing when or how soon.

Dear Buck Family,

I am deeply sorry for you loss. Marty was such a wonderful friend to me during high school. I don't think my high school days would not have been as exciting and fun as they were if it were not for Marty. I miss him deeply and I will keep him and your family in my prayers. Marty, I miss you!

I worked with Marty at McDuffy's for a short time and we became friends. His friendship was something that I really cherished but we had lost touch once I moved from the Southside. I would think of Marty from time to time and wonder how he and his family were doing. I remember when he told me that Eileen was pregnant and how happy he was but that was one of the last times I spoke to him. What a loss this world has suffered. Marty was a wonderful friend and no doubt a great father and husband. I will never forget his smile. I will miss him terribly. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Buck family. God Bless.

To the Buck family,

im sorry for the lost of marty.Though i dont know him i can see that he was loved. My last name is buck and i thought i write to you. God only knows if we are related but if we are I wish we knew him as much as everyone else.

Dear Buck Family,



I am deeply saddened to hear of Marty's passing. May God Bless you to ease your sorrow. A friend from the neighborhood.

Eileen and family-

The shock over the news is still with me. Marty was a great guy that made me smile while working at mcduffys. You both are great people. Please keep your head up and dont hesitate to let me know if you need anything.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

To Gina & The Buck Family:

I'm so sorry for your loss! I didn't know Marty well, as he was very young when I hung around with Gina and was a guest in your home. I'm sorry I didn't know him! Know you are all in my thoughts and prayers!

To The Buck Faimly



I was so sad to hear of your loss. Marty was an great person to have known in my life time. I will cherish the memories that he has left me with. He always made sure that every one around him was happy. I am blessed to have had Marty as an friend.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

DEAR EILEEN & LITTLE MARTY,

I'M DEEPLY SADDENED AND STILL IN SHOCK OVER MARTY'S PASSING. I RAN INTO JIMMY SUNDAY NIGHT AT CORRIGAN'S (SURPRISE SURPRISE) AND HE TOLD ME THE BAD NEWS.I HAD A FLIGHT BACK TO MIAMI MONDAY MORNING. I ONLY KNEW MARTY FROM MCDUFFY'S BUT HE WAS ALWAYS SMILING AND A GOOD DRINKING BUDDY.

YOU ARE ALL IN MY PRAYERS.



JACK (MYER'S RUM&COKE)

I was a year younger than Marty at St Chris, but I remember him well. He was the kind of guy that was every girl's first crush. He was kind, always had a smile and would do anything for you (even if you were not his friend). His nature brought out the best in everyone and I am a better person for knowing him as a child. The last time I saw Marty was at St Chris during pre-cana. He remembered me, said hello and had the biggest smile on his face because he was getting married!

To his wife, son and family, I leave my deepest condolences.

We extend you our deepeset and most heartfelt condolences. We are so sorry for your loss.

Dear Eileen:

I am so sorry for your loss, I can't even imagine...When I needed help you were there for me when we worked together at Gradley's. If you need anything, let me know. I'm so sorry to the whole Buck and Moloney families but I know little Marty will have lots of love and Eileen, you have lots of help to get through this between your group of lifelong girlfriends and wonderful families. I'll be praying for you both and thinking of you often. God Bless, Eileen (Field) Foley

Eileen, Although I did.'t know your husband on a personal level, I am deeply sorry for your loss!!!! Your brother Jimmy was a great friend to me. You and your son are in my thoughts and prayres!

My condolences to the entire Buck family. Marty was always one of the 'good kids' in the neighborhood. He has been called home much to soon. My prayers are with all of you.

Sorry for you loss of Marty I didn't know him that well. I new him through my sister Danielle and her husband Pat Finn.

To all of Marty’s family,



I have known Marty since grade school, and would be unable to list the sheer amount of times he made his friends laugh, and brought joy to our lives. He was a jokester, a great listener, a sincere friend, and what I remember most is that when he hugged you, he REALLY hugged you. His hugs touched your soul, as did his laugh…you KNEW that he was happy to see you.



The suddenness of what has happened keeps me from writing properly what I think should be said, so please accept my most sincere expression of sorrow at your loss, and my deepest wish that the happiest memories live on, as he created so many for us.



I know I have enough joyful memories to keep a smile on my face for years. Perhaps a lifetime. ;)



Little Martin, and all who loved him, I hope that you will read these guest book entries one day and know that we all loved your father so very much. He was a fabulous man, a true pleasure to know, and he will be missed.



I wish we did not have to say goodbye to you so soon Marty. I will miss your friendship, your bellowing laugh, and your love of life. I regret that we have not spoken in so long. 20 years later, I still can’t look at Red Jell-O and NOT think of you and that food fight in Miss Boland’s class, with it plastered all over the ceiling…or the great advice you gave me years later at NIU, sitting by the Lagoon under the stars. I am so sad, and yet feel blessed to have known you. God was good to us, for giving us Marty Buck…even if only for a little while.

Eillen and Little Marty

Words can't explain our heartfelt sorrow for you two. Thank goodness for your large family - they have large shoulders to lean on which I know over the next couple months will come in very handy.

Marty will be missed by many - his huge smily did light up a room and his stories were plenty.

You will be in our prayers!

My condolences to the entire Buck family on the sudden loss of Marty. I knew Marty through St. Chris as a friend and classmate of my sister Michelle. He was a great kid, very respectful and always had a good time joking around with Michelle, Jenny, Pat, Tommy, and the rest of their gang. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Our hearts and prayers are with you all.

To the family of Marty,

I am so sorry for your loss. It's so hard to believe this sudden loss. I've known him since grade school and not once did I see him without a smile and his happy-go-lucky personality! The last time I saw him he was so happy to be a proud dad of a handsome little baby boy. He was showing off his picture of little Marty. He was so happy. It's been years since we had seen each other, but every so often, his name was mentioned or a thought of him crossed my mind. What a light he was to everyone that knew him. May you find peace and comfort in God's love for you and Marty and keep his memories close to your hearts. What a privilage to have known him. You are all in our prayers.

Love and sympathy to all of you,

Shaun & Becky Pence (Schultz)

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Buck, Eileen, &

young Martin:



Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of Marty, he was part of our family, from the time, that he & Pat, became friends in fourth grade.





We will surely miss him.

Dear Eileen and Little Marty,

I am so sorry for the sudden lost of your husband and father. We always look back and ask ourselves is there anything I could have done or said differently that would have made a difference. But then there are somethings that are just felt and the human language doesn't give that feeling justice. Love is something that doesn't have to be spoken it has to be felt and you will always feel Marty's love and Marty will always feel your love. The love you shared, you know that true for sure love, doesn't happen to everyone. You are one of the lucky ones that was able to experience it if only physically for a short time. The love you shared is eternal. People search their entire lives to feel that kind of love. Consider yourselves kissed by God to have felt it at all.

Marty was a fabulous man to everyone. He smiled and lightened a room. He radiated genuine kindness everywhere he went. I honestly hope there are bean bags tournaments in heaven and plenty of coffee. We love you both very much and you are in our prayers now and always.

All my love,

your cousin,

To the Buck Family:

We are very sorry to hear of your loss of Martin, we remember the day he was born to you and Mike, God bless and our prayers are with you on this sad day.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.



Ann, Sue and Lori Peterson
