Ronald A. “Buck” Brickner, 84 years old of Delray Beach, FL was called to his eternal home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on October 6, 2023.
Ron was born on August 27, 1939 in York, PA to George and Ruth (Fisher) Brickner. Ron graduated from William Penn High School and joined the Air Force in 1958.
