Sorry to see that one of our lifelong community members has left us. Buck was quite a character and I always enjoyed seeing him out somewhere and talking for a while. He would sometimes stop by the house or the hardware if he caught me there and catch up on what I was working on. He will be missed by many. Our sincere condolences go out to the friends and family of Buck Ayers may he rest in peace, Wassan & Vickie Broyles.
