Wally was a passionate sea angler who spent as much time as he could fishing throughout his long life.
​
As a boat angler, Wally had owned many boats during his life and enjoyed spending time with his Wife Rosemary and children Christopher, Martin and David going fishing or just spending the day with his family on the water.
Being a familiar face on the coast, Wally made many friends and was loved by many, but he had a special relationship with the Crew and Volunteers of the Hasting RNLI all-weather Lifeboat, many of whom he remained friends with.
​
His admiration and respect for the tough job the RNLI do and his favourite TV show ‘Saving Lives at Sea’ the family has had his name inscribed on the RNLI Shannon Class Lifeboat.
Wallace Buck will always be remembered and loved by all those who knew him.
Martin Buck shares his father's passion for Sea Fishing and Boat Fishing and is a member of the EBFA Angling Club.
