Rice Mourns Passing Of Vincent Buckley

Jan. 16, 2006

Houston - Memorial services will be held Tuesday for Vincent Buckley, the 1947 winner of the Bob Quin Award as Rice's outstanding senior male student-athlete.

Buckley, 83, passed away on Jan. 13.

A Rice letterman in football, baseball and track, Buckley helped the Owls to a share of the 1946 Southwest Conference championship and a win over Tennessee in the 1947 Orange Bowl.

Buckley was later an SWC football game official for 25 years, officiating in every major bowl game of the period.

After receiving his Rice degree in 1947, he earned his law degree from the University of Texas. His professional resume included oil and gas management and legal positions with Dow Chemical, Apache Corporation, Cockburn Oil, Adams Resources, and Liddel, Sapp, Zively, Hill and LaBoon.

Among his civic affiliations was service as chairman of the Paul "Bear" Bryant College Coach of the Year Award, and president and director of the Bluebonnet Bowl.

Following a private graveside service, the memorial service will be Tuesday at 11:30 am at St. Luke's Methodist Church, 3471 Westheimer Road.

More on the life of Vincent Buckley is available in Monday's Houston Chronicle at http://www.legacy.com/HoustonChronicle/LegacySubPage2.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonId=16313114.
