Buck Linke was once a common face around Ruston. He lived on Winnifred Street in an old house that still stands in sharp contrast to the new home next door. He worked for the town, seen here driving the shiny new garbage truck in 1958. He was retired by the time I met him, but he was always full of stories. Despite his rough edges, he had a twinkle in his eye and quick smile. Rest in peace, Buck... You can view his obituary via this link here...

Sorry to hear about Buck. His house still sits next to the new home to the left. RIP
I stand corrected. I must have misunderstood which house was his. Thanks!
Thank you Karen for posting this.
Buck was a regular at the market for a long time. Should have his name on the window seat. Yes, he had many stories and a jolly laugh! Rest in peace Buck-a-roo!
