Dr. Charles Richard Buck
August 15, 1933 — August 22, 2013
Charles Richard Buck was born August 15, 1933 in Oklahoma City, OK. He was the son of Kenneth & Rosa Buck. He went to heaven on August 22, 2013 while at MD Anderson in Houston. He graduated from Putnam City High School in 1952. He received his BS from Central State College, his Masters from the Univ. of Oklahoma, and his Ed.D from the Univ. of Arkansas. He had a short stint in the Army where he was stationed in Germany.
He served on the faculty of Northeast Louisiana University (now ULM) from 1967 to 2001 when he retired from teaching. While on faculty of NLU, he served on the Curriculum Comm. for 20 years, where he was the Chairman for several years. He was also active in the LA Assoc. of HPE for 30 years where he served as President. He also served as Intramural Director for 7 years and Instructor Trainer for Aquatics, CPR and First Aid.
In 1962 he married Pat Priest and they had two daughters, Kim and Missy. Kim and husband Phil Curry live in San Diego, CA. Missy Hines lives in Monroe. And the pride of his life, grandson, Colby Hines, lives in West Monroe.
In 1997 he married Bobbie Byrd, a native Texas. They enjoyed many years traveling in and out of the U.S., up both East & West Coasts visiting Light Houses.
Ouachita Valley Runners Club was a life time of adventure and fun. He ran with them in his younger days and later he just wanted to help with races. He ran White Rock Marathon, Dallas and Blue Angel Marathon, FL, ran in the Bay to Breakers race in San Francisco, CA.
He enjoyed sports officiating, hunting, (especially duck), fishing, he had a big heart for helping & volunteering in any way he could. Usually didn't need to be called on, but happy when he was. Seeker Springs ministry was where he wanted to be, especially riding on a big mower but would help do anything. He loved that place & those people who make the youth camp function.
Richard is survived by his wife, Bobbie; Daughters, Kim Curry (Phil), and Missy Hines; Grandson, Colby Hines; Bobbie's children, Pam & Frank Cannon, Audis & Deborah Byrd, Ron & Amy Byrd; 8 grandchildren and 7 Greats.
