Buck was born to Oscar and Mary Jane “Janie” (Polk) Hunt on February 3, 1927 in Hartshorne. He grew up in Hartshorne and Talihina.
Buck served in the U.S. Navy as a Gunnery Sargent during World War II. He worked in road construction for many years. He worked for Cummins Construction Company for 12 years, was a part owner of Glover Construction, and ran the asphalt plant in McAlester.
He was a member of the Crowder Church of Christ. His proudest moment was being baptized at the Crowder Church of Christ by Mr. Bill Banks who became a life long friend. He attended the Hugo Church of Christ the last few years.
