Born June 25, 1927, in Winston-Salem, N.C., Buck was a graduate of Roxboro High School. He served in the U.S. Army from 1944-1945 during World War II. Following the war, he returned to Goldsboro, N.C. For the next 25 years he worked with Belk's Department Stores in North Carolina and in Texas.

Buck was preceded in death by his parents, Herbert Yates and Rose Aldridge Taylor; two sisters, Emile Satterfield and Catherine Thompson; and a brother, Elze Lee Taylor.
He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Shirley Holley Taylor; a son, Russ Taylor and daughter-in-law, Jeanne Turnage Taylor, of Greenville; a daughter, Myra Markham and son-in-law, Rex Markham, of Goldsboro; two grandchildren, Lindsay and Will Taylor of Greenville; a sister, Margaret Williams of Winston-Salem; a brother-in-law, Oscar Satterfield of Beaufort, S.C.; a sister-in-law, Edith Prater of Pueblo, Colo.; and several nieces and nephews.
