Steven Charles Buckingham, flossed his teeth daily
Steve flossed his teeth daily; he did not put Q-tips into his ear canal; he filed the family taxes in a timely manner; he used his blinker when driving, although he was less observant of speed limits; Steve always ate breakfast (Raisin Bran Crunch, black coffee), respecting the most important meal of the day.

Nola Lorengo, 67, drank a lot of coffee
On Monday, July 13, 2015, Folgers Coffee stock price fell sharply on the news of Nola Lorengo's passing.
Senior executives at Folgers called an emergency meeting to brace for the impact of an anticipated drop in sales.

Salvatore Buchetto,66, measured out at 73 1/2 inches, and a bouncing 232 pounds, 9 ounces
Devoted to a malfunctioning series of TR-6 autos, Sal single-handedly supported the used parts industry for that model over the years. An accomplished photographer, his "Photography by Salvatore" business captured the romance of hundreds of newly wedded couples. He supported Native American causes through his visits to state casinos, and was widely-read through his frequent contributions to the Stamford Advocate editorial page on a wide variety of serious and satirical topics. In tribute to Sal, it's rumored that big screen TVs across the state will be dimmed to half-brightness, and take-out cups of coffee will be served only half full. (It is expected that profits at County TV, Best Buy, Dunkin Donuts and Donut Delight will drop significantly.) Sal was a long time member of Grace Evangelical Church on Courtland Avenue, and loved Jesus.

Reba Emma Pray, 88; There, it's out there
Reba's favorite pass times were watching the news, reading the newspaper, drinking coffee, and smoking cigarettes. Most of the time she would do these all at once while at the kitchen table, in a coffee stained bathrobe, even when dinner was burning.
