Buck, or Buckwheat, as his friends referred to him was an avid biker and loved to ride his motorcycles as well as racing them. He enjoyed following Nascar and drag racing and headed to Daytona Beach every year for Bike Week. He sponsored several quoit leagues, pool leagues, and softball teams. He was loved by so many people and was respected for his willingness to help them. He enjoyed building his family businesses and spending time together with his children and grandchildren.

The Ballroom, located in the back of the building held 300 people including a dance floor and bar. Many weddings and banquets were enjoyed at Club Mohican. Buck, his family and friends brought that part of the town back to life with turning the lights-on! Buck also owned and operated a trucking company and Fehleys Fuel Oil Co located on Snyder Street, near the on-ramp for 22 West. He assisted many truckers passing thru and got them back out on the road with his auto company. He loved people and they loved him!
