Buck Chisolm

For many years Buck Chisolm was a tireless supporter of American Little League Baseball Berlin and served our baseball community in many different ways. From T-ball coach to Minor League coach, instead of coaching Major League he took on the role of Umpiring, where he felt and knew the league needed him most. On the ALLBB board he held the following positions at one point or another, equipment manager, Treasurer, and then Treasurer and Registrar simultaneously.  He orchestrated the traditional opening day ceremony, and always provided a helping hand wherever and whenever it was required.

To those of us on the board who on early Saturday mornings prepared the Sachtlebenstrasse fields for the day’s games, it will remain unforgettable how after cleaning the grill Buck then prepared breakfast for the volunteers:  with scrambled eggs and “homemade breakfast sausage”, the famous McChisolms.

The entire community has lost one of its kindest, most cheerful and supportive members. Buck will not be forgotten. We cherish his memory.

In this most difficult of times, our deepest sympathy and thoughts are with his family.
