Miss you Buck

Sorry to hear about your death. You and your movies were the best thing in my life for years.

My memory

Sophie B., on behalf of the entire Hixson Hal Jul 07, 2011

I never knew the guy personally but he kep me and my college roommates thoroughly entertained for years. He was the best thing that could have happened for a bunch of horny girls stuck living in an all-girls dorm! Very sad to hear of his passing; I had no idea! RIP, Buck!

My memory

Jill C. Nelson May 02, 2011

Through the graciousness of Buck's sister, Amber Lynn, we were able to interview Buck over the telephone at the eleventh hour for our biography on John Holmes (A Life Measured in Inches) in May 2008. (We had spent months trying to track him down.) I had the opportunity to speak with Buck for 90 minutes and found him to be affable,charming and a hilarious story-teller. He shared some great stories about John (in particular, the one about Buck and John encountering a guy in a Santa Claus suit in San Francisco in the mid-1980s) for our book. My co-author Jennifer Sugar and I appeared at a book signing event in Michigan the day we learned of Buck's death. We were both very saddened to learn the news of his passing and are so pleased we were able to speak with him and include his memories of John for our book. I will always think of Buck Adams fondly. RIP

Sincerely,

Jill C. Nelson
