It is with much sadness and regret that the Vernon Vipers announce the passing of long time friend Wayne Buck. "Bucky" was part of the Viper organization for over 15 years as the public address announcer at each and almost every home game. He retired his mic this past season in order to spend more time in the stands with his wife and life partner Sharon. Still feeling the itch to be part of the game, Wayne took over the mic at Boston Pizza as part of the Vipers post game show after every Friday and Saturday night game.

Wayne was not only a huge part of the Vernon Vipers, he was a big part of the City of Vernon. Bucky worked over 12 years at Kiss FM and volunteered his time at Silver Star Rotary Club for many years. Wayne also loved to golf and worked at Hillview Golf Course the past three years at the pro-shop and driving range.
Bucky will be greatly missed by all the players, staff and fans of the Vernon Vipers and our thoughts are with his family at this time.
