Obituary of Roy Buckingham

Roy Buckingham "Buck" (WWII Veteran)Peacefully on April 10, 2020 in his 97th Year. Beloved husband to the late Margaret. Loving Father to Lynn Tracey (Dwight), David (Wendy), Wayne (Keitha), Daniel (Nancy). Caring Grandfather to 8 Grandchildren and 7 Great Grandchildren. The family would like to express their sincere thanks to the staff on K1W at Sunnybrook Veteran's Centre. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Glendale Funeral Home. Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.Roy answered Canada's call when he was 18 and sacrificed the best years of his life in the service of his county. Buck was a very proud Veteran and longstanding member of the Royal Canadian Legion branches 57 & 226 and the ANAF Lambton 212. Roy delighted in spending time with his family and spoiling his grandchildren. His quick wit and wry sense of humour made him easy to talk to and he was well known by the Green Lanes community until moving into Sunnybrook. It gave him great pride to be an original owner on a street where he helped build the houses and then spent over 65 years building a community with his family. He will be sorely missed. require(["jquery", "moment"], function ($, moment) { $(".moment__local").each(function (index) { var dt = moment.utc($(this).attr("title")).local(); $(this).text(dt.format("dd-MMM-yyyy")); }); }) Posted by Lois Wercholoz (Chessum) | 22-Apr-2020 I have wonderful memories of Greenlane's 'group' and Mr. Buckingham was an original. Thinking of you all.
