BUCHANAN: Larry John ‘Bucky’ Buchanan of Franklin, MB, born August 30, 1955 in Portage la Prairie, passed away November 8, 2018 at Neepawa Health Centre at the age of 63 years. “Bucky” as he was affectionately known was always willing to lend a helpful hand, was a wonderful friend and neighbour and was quick to smile. He will be remembered for his love of music and the bands and events he was in. Dogs and horses he considered friends. In his younger days it was all about motorcycles and in his gettin' on days it was a blue pickup the color of the Maple Leafs. Whether you remember Larry in a cowboy hat, bandana or ball cap, that memory is a good one. Bucky was proud Manitoban and lover of nature and Neil Young - the world is a little darker and colder without him in it. He is predeceased by his father Raymond John and mother Doris Jelks. Surviving are his son Craig Nash of Charlottetown, PEI; his daughters Melissa (Scott) Breau of Carstairs, AB and Brittany (Shawn) Yates of Thompson, MB and eight grandchildren. A memorial service was held on November 18, 2018 at Franklin Community Centre. His remains were buried alongside his mother’s in a family service at Birnie Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, to honor Larry’s memory, please donate to the Humane Society.
