My family has been friends with Buck & Alice since they moved to Phoenix and I can't even remember when that was, sometime in the '50's. My mom & dad went on vacations and trips with Buck & Alice until they passed away. They all had so much fun together. I think Buck & Alice kept my parents young. My dad bought my 4 very small sons life insurance policies with Buck, so of course Buck sent them a birthday card every year. We lived in California at the time so my mom & dad also sent them a card for their birthday and placed a $5 bill in each one and my young boys use to ask my dad "Why his friend never put any money in their cards like he did" Buck thought that was very funny. He knew all our family very well. He was like family to all of us. He will be missed very much. Joyce & Steve Stevens
