Hardly a day goes by that I don’t think about Buck Sawyer. He was exuberantly generous with his time and skill. He was encouraging to all. What a treasure. He is sorely missed.

We had the pleasure of meeting Buck through a purchase of a real estate lot here in Belfast. Buck casually mentioned he knew my brother Mike and they had worked together on the restaurant Root One in Boston. As a 14 year old back then I had a meal there, my first experience with natural foods. I don’t remember meeting Buck at the time but I have a strong memory of wooden bowls and lots of brown rice. Buck was absolutely wonderful to work with and to close the deal on our lot purchase. Our condolences to Bucks family

Dear Marsea,
I cannot tell you how sorry I am for your immense loss. Buck was a rare human being, such a big bright, truly great soul, and your loss has to be very deep and difficult. He will be missed by many. I know I do, and I only knew him briefly. But he leaves an imprint for sure. He helped me find my perfect home in Maine; it was a gift and a blessing to have him as a Realtor. Talk about going the extra mile...literally and figuratively. He was the best broker I have ever known, and I'm happy I told him that. I know good brokers because I'm a broker in NC. He was so authentic, so knowledgeable, so engaging...100% in. He went above and beyond in every single way. It's rare to meet someone like him who lives their life so well. I feel privileged to have known him.
I guess I was his swan song, the last house he sold because he went to the hospital with back pain three days after I left. That feels so special to me because I was determined to be in Maine, and he fulfilled that for me before he died. Life is strangely amazing, and so was Buck. I've been waiting for news of him since his very optimistic email of Dec 15. Today I googled him, and I was deeply saddened to find his obituary. It was beautiful. Moving and well-written. There are few words at a time like this, Marsea. I haven't met you, but I feel like I know you since Buck talked about you often when he showed me property. I send you ALL MY DEEPEST LOVE and condolences, and also to his entire family. I wrap my heart around you all.

Buck helped us find our dream home so we could make the move from Chicago to Maine. He went above and beyond, with incredible patience and thoroughness for a young family moving into our first new--but very old--house. He knew all the questions to ask, had the answers, and kicked all the metaphoric tires. We absolutely loved our renegade, kooky, Zen real estate agent, who was the complete opposite of what one normally finds in that industry. We closed on our Cedar Street house in January but weren't moving in until summer, when we were ready to leave Chicago: when the tulips in front of our new house started coming up in spring, Buck sent us photos.
We had always hoped that if we ever needed to move again, we'd have Buck to help guide us with his calm, gentle, candid spirit. He was an incredibly special person, a wild and authentic soul, and we feel honored to have known him. His is a true loss to our community, but we loved reading his obituary and getting to know him even further. All our love to his family and friends.

Apologies for delayed condolences but somehow this slipped by us. Buck was one in a million, very smart, very wise, very patient with impatient hyper clients like me. We appreciated his honorable sincere business acumen with his personal service that was far more personalized. An honor to know him. Wishing strength and courage to his family now and in all the difficult days ahead.

I too will miss Buck, who I've always known as Howard over the years of real estate and chance sighting and meetings. It was always so nice to see him as he greeted me with that smile and sense of humor.
A very interesting person, cut from a different cloth, with a deeper, out-of-the-box perspective which is so refreshing.
I hope all of your most wonderful expectations are met on the other side Buck. We're just spiritual beings having a human experience and then back home again. All the best! Condolences to family and friends.

I always enjoyed seeing Buck Sawyer. Neat person. Didn't know him well at all yet he always had a smile for me when we'd see each other. Friendly, sweet, unpretentious person. I am sorry for the family's loss and the ensuing sadness of not seeing his smile down the store aisle or street. Bye bye, Buck. You were/are a sweetie!

From all of us here on the crew, Kenny, Terry, Tanner and Devon, go our deep condolences for Buck’s family and friends. Buck was always “looking out for us” and sending carpentry jobs our way. No project was ever insurmountable and he always brought an infectious optimism and can do spirit to all transactions….in addition to friendship and genuine concern for our wellbeing. He was someone that you knew you could count on to help you out on very short notice. He will be greatly missed by us all.

Greetings. I just now learned of Buck's passing, and I'm very sorry and saddened - I will miss his sense of humor, his enthusiasm, and his wry smile. I do odd jobs around Belfast, and Buck was always very kind to steer work my way from his clients. Buck always, without fail, asked with genuine interest how I was doing, and he was always very attentive, something one doesn't find every day.
I also knew Buck's mother, and I miss her too.
To all of Buck's family, my condolences - I know you will miss him. And to Buck, I'll see you on the other side, my friend.

I first met Buck when I was house hunting in Belfast. I had decided to move to Maine from Baltimore, Maryland after my husband died. I had found a realtor online, but it turned out she was from Falmouth – too far away to be helpful in Belfast. She did bring me to see the large, yellow house on Franklin Street where I met Buck, who was the realtor for the seller. I liked the house, but I liked Buck even better and asked him to be my realtor.
When I returned to look at the house again, my “to do” list got longer and longer and I began to think that maybe it wasn’t the perfect house for me. Buck told me that the house next door was going on the market. I wasn’t particularly attracted to it from the outside but, after some persuading, I agreed to take a look. The minute I walked into the living room I knew it was my home and I fell more in love with it with each step I took.
My favorite place in my house is the kitchen that Buck and Marsea remodeled. Although I usually don’t like renovations done by others (my husband and I renovated several houses), I find this one beautiful. From the beams he found under the dropped ceiling to the pantry he created in the old stairwell, it is the kind of kitchen in which you can happily spend hours cooking – which I do. I think of him often with gratitude when I’m in there and I am happy that I will have this continual reminder. When I would recommend Buck as a realtor to people who want to move to Baltimore, I would always tell them that Buck knew houses inside and out, had great design sense and could really see possibilities.
I was still grieving my husband, the loss of my old life and trying to adjust to my new future when I moved to Belfast in the summer of 2018. In my sadness, I wondered if I would ever feel that Belfast was my home. Buck greatly helped ease my way. He was always ready with good advice when asked but, even better, he gave me moments of magic that helped me see beauty in my new life. In the Fall, he showed up to a dinner I hosted with a kitchen garbage bag of maitake mushrooms he had gathered from the Oak trees in his yard. In the dead of winter, I returned home one dark night to find a lovely glowing object on my doorstep. The ice candle Buck had made and left there surprised and delighted me with its warmth, light and beauty. And when I was missing Baltimore Spring in cold and gray Belfast, Buck showed up with an armful of forced forsythia. Buck was one of the major reasons that I now feel that Belfast was the home I always wanted and was lucky to find. I will always be grateful to him.
Buck was a unique, one in a million man. Lively and full of positive energy, he added light to the world. He created beauty wherever he went and reminded us that there was still some magic in this material world. Belfast feels sadder without him. May he rest in peace - he did good.

Thank you so much for your thoughts of my brother. Just one addition, if you please: Buck isn't resting anywhere -- he's going full-blast in the next phase and probably faster and faster, pouring on the steam and squeezing the very most out of everything he encounters ;)
THANKS AGAIN!! <3

Your friendship will be so missed. Mike loved asking to borrow tools asking advice on trees, roofs, painters and we thank you for suggesting our wonderful house/cottage keeper . You were wonderful helping me through some of the worst pain I’d been in for years. Down the driveway or over the hill you came with items to keep me as comfortable as possible. You came with heating pads CBD cream, food and your ability to make me laugh. Rest In Peace you now are with Zion experiencing your “Unclouded Day”. Our sympathy to your family and most heartedly your lovely wife.
