  1. I just wanted to use this opportunity to thank everyone for their continued support and well wishes. It is still very touching to my entire family to have so many people say such kind things about my father. This is truly a special and outstanding community of thoughtful and considerate individuals bonded by common love for superior sound. Surviving OldBuckster are his wife, Barb, Daughter, 2 grandchildren, and myself. I recently got married on 9/1/12. Although my wife was not able to meet my father she knows of his character and legacy. You all help to create such a legacy as I often show her all of you kind words. Thank you! -Jeff
  2. Thats great to hear. I have you admit that you all read my mind. After seeing so many touching comments still coming in about my father, my second thought just after what a wonderful community this is to still speak highly about my father after 4yrs, was to think about HarryO and his amazing support and connection to a family that he has never met. Thank you again to all that left such kind words about Oldbuckster and thank you for inquiring about HarryO. Harry, if you get this, drop my mom a line. -Jeff

  4. haha, thanks for looking and adding. That's actually a pic of Joe, my brother and law and Joey's father. I've tried to attach a photo of the little guy and I back in April. It's a rough photo but it's all I have w/ Joey and I on my work computer.
  5. All, Thank you for your continued support. My family and I can't be more proud of the impact and relationships my Father was able to create here. This past weekend was Baby Joey's (OBs first grandchild) 1st. This came just days before OB birthday on Tuesday. My Mother and I spent the weekend with Him and my Sister during the weekend. This was great timing. On Sunday, My Mother and I were in Battery Park, NYC to participate in a fundrasier walk for Lung Cancer research and support. Lungevity is the name of the organization that heads these efforts (lungevity.org). My Mother and I saw this to be a fitting as a way to honor my father and help the effected community. Our team raised over $1,800 for this event. In total, over $130,000 was raised by this walk alone. My Mother and I plan to be active in fundrasing for this cause. Of course, with OB in our hearts and thoughts the entire time. http://flickr.com/gp/14189733@N07/GnV0Bm This is a link to my sister's flicker page where you should be able to view some pics of the Little guy and the fam. I haven't figured out how to attached a photo to the thread. Again, thank you. You're thoughts and support mean the world to us.
  6. Harry, I hope you are doing well. Again, thanks to everyone for the supporting myself and my family. It's very touching to see how my Father was able to reach out to so many people. I apologize that I have not been on the forum in some time. I'm new to the forum game. I just got on an Audi forum and I'm fumbling around with that right now. Just an update: It's hard to believe it's been 6 months. It's like time has been standing still b/c it feels weird to continue with out my Dad. My Mother is doing well. She got away to Florida for a week with my Aunt back in Feb. Baby Joey is growing fast, as he's six and a half months old now. My sister and I are doing well and making trips home to Mom as frequently as we can. I will keep in touch. Keep Rockin!
  7. The words I spoke at my Father's service... BUBBA’S WORDS "As the words of his favorite song state, not even Wild Horse could’ve dragged him away from us, his Family. Instead I like to think that God intervened in my Father’s struggles with what nature brought him. He told my Father that is was ok and that his job as a caregiver and a provider were complete. Despite his absence, to me, his role as a Father will forever remain. I have learned so much from my Father over the years, all of which have shaped me into the MAN I am today. No one in this world is done learning and developing and I will forever look to the wisdom and morals that my Parents instilled in me to continue my maturity. Over the past few days, the hardest parts have not been when I lay my head to rest at night, but rather when I awake in the morning. This is something I can no longer share with my beloved Father. Instead when I awake, I rise with new purpose. It is now my job to continue to display to my Father that he did the best job a Father could in raising a strong young man. It is my job to continue to achieve and show the world that everything I am and accomplish is supported by the hard work of my Parents. There are many things I would love to say about, P-Bear, my Father. Just like my final moments with him, I choose to believe that some words need not be said. Actions speak louder than words and I hope that composing these few words will show my Father how truly priceless his existence is to me. I promise to continue to act as he taught me; to represent myself as a man. He set a great example to follow. I promise to look after his Family, as I know he wants me to. And I promise to attempt to emulate the love and support he had for my Mother. Dad, You will forever be my inspiration and my source of love"
  8. All, Again I want to thank you for your support, thoughts, and kind words. I figured at this point I could give everyone an update on the past month. His service was December 2. As I was with reading these threads, I was overwhelmed by the attendance and support of my father and his family. As tough as it was for the both of us, myself and his best friend Nick (who played "Wild Horses" for him at the hospital said a few words. My words will be in a separate thread for those who wish to read. My father lays at rest and in peace at the Saratoga National Cemetary in Stillwater, NY looking over Saratoga Lake. The entire service was very difficult but done well showing great honor and respect to my Dad. My family (including his granddaughter bulldog Roxi) went to visit him Christmas Day. I found this to be extremely difficult but therapeutic at the same time. It was good to be there a say a few words that have been bouncing around my head over the past month. Lisa, I think it was you who mentioned his picking on you in a serious manner. Let me inform you all that that was my Dad. He told it as it was and didn't pull any punches, but was picking nonetheless. A perfect example would be how he always address on of my best friends. "Buffalo Sucks" was always his greeting and salutation to my buddy from Buffalo (any lifetime and devoted Bills and Sabers fan). I Dad was expressing his true feeling on the matter but never meant it in a degrading tone, just to bust his balls. My mother and I ran the Scott and the Cws the other day to appreciate them and see them in the light my father did. I started with the 40 Licks album b/c that is very dear to me. It's the album we would always listen to while cruising in the Porsche and looking for chicks. They sound amazing and I have to say I will become a Klipsch enthusiast (although can never come close to matching my father devotion). Although I will say that I got my Dad to respect the bose soundock I have for my ipod (not sure if he'd admit that to anyone else).
  9. All, As I’m sure you can figure out by the name, I am Rob’s Son Jeff. I can speak for my entire family when I say we are blown away by everyone’s support and words. My father enjoyed this forum very much, but we never knew the magnitude of relationships he established with you guys. This forum provided my father with enjoyment and a way to express himself while he was home. I would like everyone to know that as sudden as the last days were, he passed with his family by his side. He was able to make peace with his situation and the people who meant the most to him. As you all know, The Stones are the greatest band in the world. His best friend arrived to the hospital 40 minutes prior to his passing. Like a man on a mission from God, he walked in the room and had me turn on “Wild Horses,” their favorite song. Shortly after my father passed in peace with the words of Jagger and Richards echoing in his head. Again, I thank everyone for their kind words. It means so much. For you guys to say such kind things makes me feel as though you are distant friends of mine. Still trying to figure out how to attch his pic.
