CAMDEN — Glenn Edward “Ace” Buckingham, born in 1949, son of Harry Morgan Buckingham and Mildred Lisbeth Dupree, passed away at his home, happy, loved and surrounded by his children, on Oct. 29, 2015.

A 42-year proud Mainer, Glenn originally hailed from Michigan. He grew up playing baseball and ice hockey in and around the Detroit metro area. He graduated as an English major from Wayne State University and shortly afterward moved to Maine, where he and friends built his first house in Liberty, leading to a very full and gratifying life.

Glenn has spent many years in service of his Knox County community on the Riley School board, as an integral partner at Hand to Hand and as a member of the Camden Rotary Club. He was also on the board as well as a performer for the Mid Coast Community Choir and a founding member of The Hawks men’s team.

He was honored and privileged to serve his clients as a financial manager for the last 29 years and more recently with his business, Buckingham Financial Designs, P.C.

Glenn had a strong passion for music, sports and lakeside campfire shenanigans, which he had plenty of with his family and friends in his last days at his pond house known as "Just Enough."

His family invites you to join them in celebrating his life on Sunday, Nov. 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Camden Snow Bowl.

In lieu of flowers, please consider supporting one of Glenn's funds that is near and dear to his heart. Donations can be made to Riley Scholarship Fund at Buckingham Financial Designs, 24 Bayview Street, Suite 2, Camden, ME 04843.
