Just earlier this year your beloved Peasant congratulated
James Buckley, older brother to William F. Buckley Jr. and
the fourth of the ten renown Buckley children of William Sr.
and Aloise Buckley on reaching his 100th birthday ---
the great centennial in age! Now, I sadly inform you, my grand
readers, of his passing. His final day of his long and amazing
life was August 18.
What more can I say about this man and his accomplishments
in the service of our country? And he was a member of a
distinguished family which he and his siblings made even
more distinguished through their careers with their work
to make our United States an even greater, more liberty-
oriented, and with a more politically aware people seeking
a more reasonable, less mendacious, constitutionally
restrained federal government, making for a more just
and harmonious life for the citizenry.
We now salute and give a hearty farewell to the last living
member of the remarkable and renown brood of the Buckley
family. James has now followed his nine siblings to their
last homing and their well-earned final rewards. The Buckleys
made our country all the better for their having lived in it
and worked diligently in its service.
Requiescat in pace.
