Condolence: My condolences to the Larson family. I got to know Buck when he was in charge of the powerhouse at Midtec/Repap. I was a young and inexperienced valve salesman and Buck was always willing to share his knowledge and experience with me. He was always calm and professional even when I made a mistake and probably caused him some heartburn. Buck taught me a lot about steam piping but more importantly he taught me how to be a professional even when things don't go as planned.
Customers like Buck don't come along very often. Even as I now approach my own retirement Buck stands out as one of my favorite customers and people that I had the good fortune of knowing in my career.
