May God be with you Judy at thim of pain of loss. Charlie was a unusial personality. I thought he had a great sice of humor. He seemed to be friendly and nice to everyone.I new his Father well./ When I was 19 years old, I worked for a compny promoting Peter Pan peanut butter, Often I would ride with "Mr Buck" on his route calling on stores I learned a lot from him. Charlie if you are in Heaven now may the angels be sitting around you listening to your funny stories.

Phillips County has lost one its bright lights with the passing of Charlie Buchanan. He always had a smile and a way of looking at things that lifted every heart. His ready smile was there for each person he met, but he saved his very special smile for his beautiful wife, Judy, whom he fell in love with while in high school. My prayers are with the family.
