Floyd “Bucky” Glenmore, age 76, of Ashland

Floyd Wayne Glenmore AKA ‘Bucky’ (Max’veho-Big Spider) was called home suddenly by Maheo in the early morning of Jan 26, 2023, at the Lame Deer clinic. 

Bucky was born on April 2, 1946, to Douglas and Josephine Glenmore, the fourth of five children he grew up in Busby, mt.

Bucky attended school at St.Labre through elementary. While staying at the dorm, he volunteered to be an altar boy for church, often getting up @ 5:00 AM just to have his favorite meal, breakfast. Up until he departed, he still could speak Latin. He attended his high school years at Busby Boarding School and graduated in 1964.

After high school graduation, he joined the U.S Army. As a Vietnam veteran, he received the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Vietnam Service Medal and the Combat Infantryman Badge. He was honorably discharged in February, 1968.

Employment for Bucky was with construction, the power plants of Colstrip and finally retiring as the Charging Horse Casino Security Supervisor. 

Favorite pastime of Bucky’s was playing bingo and machines at Charging Horse Casino . He had no time schedule, so he could wander wherever, whenever he wanted to visit his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, some of who resided in WY, then driving down to visit his stepson, Joshua Bee Robinson and his wife Candace,  and grandchildren, Tynwaya, Jhamai & Mya Robinson in NM 2 or 3 times a year. He enjoyed attending pow-wows, loved gourd dancing and the Native American Church.  Another enjoyment of his was ‘mow-lawning’ his football size yard, mowing all the way to the main road with a distinctive design at the entrance. With this practice, it saved our home from the two wildfires that had burned through Ashland in 2012 and 2021.

Bucky was a Northern Cheyenne ceremonial man, being a member of the ‘Crazy Dogs Society’. He was a fluent Cheyenne speaker. Culture and the traditional way of life was very important to him.

Oldmouse.

Upon the death of his sister, Dorothy, Bucky spoke to his niece and nephew Denise and David telling them that as a Cheyenne man, he would now step in as a parent to them.  David and Denise were extremely close with Bucky as he was always checking on them as a parent would.
