I remember Tom Bucher very well.  He was my first manager at Hart's in Whitehall. It was my very first job in 1981.  I have often thought of him through the years since.  My softlines manager didn't want to hire me because I had a young child, but Mr Bucher said "no, we're hiring her"  I have always remembered how it was because of him giving me that chance that I got my career started.  He always had a calmness about himself with a sense of humor.  He was a wonderful person to work for.  I often thought of 'how would Mr Bucher handle this?' whenever I had a problem within my career all these years.  He had that strong of a positive influence.   I will always have wonderful memories of working at Hart's #96, he made it a fun experience.  Lynne Berus (Black)

So sorry for your loss. Tom was a great guy, ok golfer.  Always made you feel like family. 

To the Bucher family,

We saw were Tom had passed and want to send our condolences to the family. We both worked with or for Tom at Harts for many years and he was always fun to be around. He was always quick with a joke or a comment that was appropriate for the conversation. 
So sorry for your loss.

My sincere condolences for the family. I worked for Mr. Bucher at the Great Eastern Harts back in the 80's. He was a great boss and I thought the absolute world of him. Broke my heart when he left our store. I followed soon after. I have thought of him often through the years. 

Please accept our deepest condolences to you over the loss of your father.  We offer you our heartfelt support and friendship in this difficult time.

Well the word "ornery" definitely came to mind and made me smile and then picture his ornery grin while he was being ornery! 

Hugs, prayers and love for the wonderful family he leaves behind, but knowing he is in a better place, surrounded with family, friends, peace and love is a comfort.  I picture him golfing and fishing without any pain or physical limits smiling that ornery smile!  

And I'll just add Casey only loves his Mama!!  So not really Tom's orneriness (love that word) was to blame for the lack of love from Casey, lol
Love, 
Karen

Like a second father in some ways, and a good friend in others, Tom always had a good word or a chuckle ready for you. He would say, "Mister T" or "Big T" whenever he saw me. We chatted quite often, whether on a fishing trip, or on the back of the boat at Apple Valley. He loved to spank you playing cards on fishing trips. LOL He will be sorely missed, but we know he has gone to a better place. The wife and I will always think of him fondly. 

All our love, Tom and Heidi Altiere

My Mom and I would like to express our deepest condolences - We wish you peace, comfort, and lots lo love - Our hearts go out to you all.
