Upon graduation he immediately began his 36 year career with the Pure Oil and Unocal Companies as a Manager of Marketing Relations. This career took Buck and his family from Atlanta and Griffin, GA to Charlotte, NC, Richmond, VA, Columbus, Oh, Chicago, IL, and finally back to Rome where he built his dream home on Mt. Alto. He was a member of St. Peter's Episcopal Church. His retirement years were filled with woodworking, yard work and golf.
