Clarence was born on the family farm to Clarence & Inez Bucy.
Earl grew up in the Lake Quinnebaugh Township and attended a 2-room country school. He was a member of the school's Glee Club and played the trombone.
As a child Earl was stricken with polio and spent more than a year hospitalized in an iron lung.
He graduated from Tekamah High School in 1946. He attended Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln before returning home to farm the land that was farmed by his father and grandfather.
The family was honored with an AKSARBEN Pioneer Farm Family Award in 1990, recognizing that the land has been in the Bucy family for more than 100 years.
Earl married Helen Burt Neary on August 29-1948 in Decatur. They lived on the family farm between Decatur & Tekamah, before moving to Tekamah after retirement in the 1980's.
Earl enjoyed fishing with his friends, traveling with his wife.
He was proud to receive the Bronze Jordan Medal for being the oldest Master Mason of Tekamah Masonic Lodge No. 31. He was a founding member of the Tekamah Rawhide Nobles, the miniature car club that drove in numerous local parades and was also a member of the Tangier Shrine, Scottish & Yorkshire Rites. He also served on the Burt-Washington County Drainage Board, the Burt County Museum Board and was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Tekamah.
His and Helen's greatest joy was watching their grandchildren grow up and attending their school, 4-H and sports activities.
