Bobby C. Buckley (Buck), 79. Bob was born in Mercer County and moved to Louisville after graduating to begin his career and marry Betty (Sallee) in 1963. He was a proud member of Sheet Metal Workers Local 110 throughout his career at Griffin & Company where he worked for 40 years. Bob was a longtime coach in the Fern Creek Babe Ruth baseball organization and for the Fern Creek Optimist. He bowled for over 40 years in various leagues with a group of friends and colleagues. He would never pass up the opportunity to golf once retired. His activities allowed him to remain active. He was a fervent fan of the Kentucky Wildcats and Cincinnati Reds watching every game.
He was preceded in death by his son, Richard L. Buckley (Rick) and is survived by his wife of 59 years, Betty, his son Joe (Bethany) and granddaughter Sarah Schweiker (Nick).
Services will be at Arch L. Heady at Resthaven Memorial Park on Thursday, February 23, with visitation from 1-4 pm, with the service at 4:00.
