I was very sorry to hear of Bucky's passing. I never knew him personally but felt like I had. He was always so close to my Dad, Jon Soderman, over the years. I felt blessed that he was in my Dad's life - what a wonderful friend. My deepest sympathy to your family.

My sincere sympathy to Lila, Scott and Mark on the passing of Buck. It was an honor and privilege to meet him as a board member at MEC when I was a newcomer to the company and community. I'm thankful to have known him and appreciated his experience, knowledge and insights. He'll be missed by many of us who he worked with at MEC.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Played a few games of Skat with Buck over the years at Boots' house in Mayville. My sympathy to all of his family and friends.

I was very sorry to read about Bob's passing. He was one of the most honest and most sincere individuals I ever has the pleasure of knowing. I first met and began a friendship with Bob during my early years of employment at Mayville Metal Products. I have nothing but the highest regard for the work ethic he showed me when I asked for his opinion or needed his help. He was a true professional and will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by many people. My most sincere condolences to Lila, Scott, Mark and the rest of the family. REST IN PEACE, "BUCK"!

Lila, Scott and Mark, my sincerest sympathy at the passing of Bob. He was one of the nicest men I've ever known. You're in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

My sympathy to you Lila, Scott & Mark on the passing of your husband/father.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
