Wallace Sharp Obituary
Preceded in death by our Mom, Constance (Centineo) Sharp.
Born 12/30/27 in Eagleville, Mo.
After serving in the US Army in Japan with the Occupation Forces during World War Two he came home to work at Marshall's Drive In restaurant as a cook where he met our mother who was working there as a waitress. One day his boss mentioned that he could really "Buck that grill" and his lifelong nickname "Buck" was born. After some jobs like carpenter, and ice delivery driver he landed a job that he loved at the Union Pacific Railroad managing the Management Information Systems department and writing software in Cobalt software language and was proud to say that a lot of programs that he had written were still in use today. He eventually retired from the railroad after 32.5 years at 59 years old.
Dad was an avid golfer, bowler & bridge player with Mom; put both sons through Indian Guides (a father/ son organization) and both girls through dance lessons;
he was also President of his Kiwanis club and golf league.
He is survived by four children:
Sharon (Randy) Krauth;.
Steve (Cammie) Sharp;.
Susan (Don) Christensen;.
Stuart (Liz) Sharp,.
And many Grand, Great, and Great Great grandchildren as well as his many friends that he came to know as his family.
His celebration of life will be 10/9/25 at Symphony Point independent living from (4 to 7pm) at 445 S 193rd St in Elkhorn.

What a beautiful tribute to a fine man and an amazing couple. I had the privilege to know both Connie and Buck. We bowled and played cards together for several years and they always made me feel like family. I ran into Buck at the grocery store a couple of years ago and we talked and laughed for several minutes reminiscing of the old times. What a beautiful couple, I'm so glad that they are celebrating each other again.

Many fond memories of our gang growing up together on North 49th Ave. Our parents were all such great friends ans role models. So glad many/most of them lived long and healthy lives. We're blessed, and my warmest thoughts to you all.

Dad, congratulations for having a life well lived. You enjoyed it to the fullest! I will always be greatful to God that he chose you to be my father and my Dad. You taught me so very much about how to live my life. I'll miss your wisdom and guidance forever. The only thing that eases the pain of losing you, is that you'll be happy, reunited with Mom. Love you and miss you forever! Let us feel your presence now and then
