Buckles, Henry Carl
Passed away peacefully at Telfer Place, Paris, on Saturday July 13, 2013, a longtime resident of Paris. Born in Dillenburg, Germany on September 20, 1927 to Ernst and Margarite Buchholz. Buck proudly lived every moment of his life until he died. He unceasingly expressed his love, gratitude and humour to all those who were blessed enough to share his final days. Being the wonderful husband, supportive dad and fun loving poppa/grandpa he was, he was surrounded by his family to the end.
Buck has gone ahead to wait for his teenage sweetheart and wife of 60 years, Doris, his five adoring children; Jeff (Jeannie), George (Thelma Sakamoto), Jo (Steve Clark), Brenda (the late Scott Labron) and Anna (Scott Markey); his fifteen grandchildren, Adam & Lisa and Aaron & Michelle Buckles; Ted, Matt and Emma Buckles; Ty and Wigs Clark; Meg, Spence, Rory and Katie Labron; Esme and Clara Markey; and a great grandson Buckles to be. Predeceased by all his siblings, Bob, Anne Marie, Margaret, Jane and Hilda. All the family will miss their role model and number one fan dearly.
The family would like to express their immense gratitude to Buck's home care nurses, especially Starla, Tracy and Ruth for their years of professionalism which was only outdone by their warmth and humour; Suzanne and Dr Carlisle from St Joe's Hamilton PD Clinic for their guidance, caring and laughter; Stedman Hospice Outreach Team, especially Shelley for her commitment to dignity, comfort and peace; and of course to the outstanding staff at Telfer Place. Each and every staff member went above and beyond to ease this journey for us. The star quilt was a fitting summary that cannot be conveyed in words. Your random acts of kindness will never be forgotten. Thanks too, to Father Mike for the repeated visits when Buck changed his mind about leaving, your "send off" gave him peace.
