Foster and Winnie Combs Buck. He passed away on Sunday, November 7,

Harold grew up in southern Oklahoma, graduating from Wilson High School
in 1948. His first job was working in a grocery store after school and
on Saturdays. He rode his bicycle to school and work every day for seven
years doing this job. After he graduated, he went to work in the oil
field for a pipe pulling company developing Exxon/Mobil's first water

Korean War stationed in California and Japan. He was discharged in 1954
at which time he and Nona returned to Grand Prairie to live and make a
home where they raised three children, Ronald, Susan, and Kevin. Their
