When Buck was in preschool, his teacher took his mom aside and said, "We are having a problem with your son. He is gathering up his classmates and telling them what to do."

Students who knew Buck responded to his death with grief and tributes. One student assembled many of the remarks made at the three memorial services held for Buck and sent them to a long list of friends who had been praying for Buck and Michele during Buck’s illness. 

In April eighty members of the Seminary community registered with the National Bone Marrow Registry. The drive was a response to a friend’s words in Buck’s eulogy challenging people to register to be bone marrow donors.
