Lynn Compton Obituary

Respect to him and all soldiers off wars the soldiers off easy company back then fill me with pride god bless all .

I was working as a legal stenographer with the LA District Attorneys office during the Shirhan Shirhan trial. Mr Compton was a well respected DA. I did not know about his service in WWII until recently. I would have liked to hear of his experiences. My father fought in the Battle of the Bulge and also received a Purple Heart. God bless the Compton family. Your father was a great man.

We were honored to have had the opportunity to visit with Buck on several occasions. We thank him for his service to our great nation and for fighting to preserve the freedom our forefathers created for us. He lead a remarkable life and raised two wonderful daughters. Buck was a blessing and inspiration to all.
He will be greatly missed.

As a neighbor and friend and veteran I was blessed and honored to know Buck. In talking to him about his experiences during the D-Day Normandy invasion I learned of his bravery during the battle at Brecourt Manor. A few years later my wife and I visited the Normandy region and found the Manor where he fought. I will never forget the impression it left on me. God bless you dear Buck. Your life has been an inpiration to so many.We will miss you.

We have enjoyed knowing Buck as a fellow church-goer and feel sharing a pew with Buck and his family & friends was a blessing for us. Best wishes to the family in your time of loss. BJ & Frank

I did not have the honor of meeting Mr. Compton; I only knew of him from Band of Brothers. He must have been a captivating and wonderful man throughout his whole life.

Thank you, Mr. Compton, for your bravery and dedication to your country, family, and friends.

My condolences to the Compton family.

My thoughts and prayers to all. I had the honor of meeting Buck a few times, at Reading and Hershey PA. A true gentleman and hero. Currahee!

Syndee & Tracy-

I was thrilled to meet Buck at Creekside . He was a true gentleman & very modest about everything he did in his incredible life. A real Hero. Plus just an all around nice person. I am so sorry for your loss, Sincerely- Joanie Nagatani

Eyes right! Hand salute!
On to your next post.
Thank you for saving our country.

I was honored to meet Buck for the first time in 2008 at the Easy Company Reunion in Salem, Oregon. The respect I have for him is immense. From one Police Officer to another Police Officer, you will never be forgotten. As long as there is air in my lungs your memory will stay alive. I pray you had a full canopy and a soft landing in Heaven. Rest in peace, Sir.

Bucks memory will forever live on. He was a legend and was one of many heroes. I flew from Australia to meet him only last year and he is the nicest man. Today everything I do I do for him. He is a true hero and a legend. His memory shall forever live on. I never thought it would hurt so much as I had only met him once but now as I right this I cry for him and in his memory. I salute him and have the utmost respect for him.

Thank you for all you did for this country .

Saw Mt. Vernon newspaper front-page headline "I was Lucky" some years ago during a military event/Buck's photo & nice article--from there a retired Army MG and I helped arrange several speaking venues for him which he appreciated. Enjoyed meeting Shannon, his book,and Buck's warm hospitality at his home. A true Gentleman. HOOAH!

Thank you Sir. for all that you did for us. God Bless you and your Family.

Buck Compton was a true hero who along with his Band of Brothers brought peace and freedom to so many who were oppressed. He now joins many members of Easy Company who proceeded him in eternal peace. Thank you for your service as a Soldier and as a public servant. Rest in Peace.

What a privilege to have know Buck these last few years. Our paths had passed over the years in LA, with UCLA, LA High, Law school, etc. Great talks at the GOP HQ. Loved his books. Rest in Peace.

Memory remains the sole means of our requital to such a man. I will remember you and your brothers, as will my sons.

My condolences to the Compton family. I never got to meet Mr. Compton but it is still a great loss of a great man, a true American Hero.

May you rest in peace and enjoy the company of your Band of Brothers that have gone before you.

What a life! Clearly, your father's dedication to his Country was exceeded only by that to his family. Job well done, Buck Compton...rest Easy.

What a life full of accomplishments.. R.I.P.

I didn't know this wonderful man... I was in the Armored Field Artillery WWII, so it meant a lot to me to know and admire all things about the Band of Brothers and his exploits... its men like this that keep our country strong and proud....I offer a prayer and thanks for his heroism and just being a real human being....Fred Talbot

Please accept my condolences to the entire Compton family. Buck was a man who with many others made great sacrifices for freedom, but took little credit for it. I did not know Buck personally, but felt I did get to know part of him with all that I read. Thanks for your service. God Bless, Godspeed, and Currahee!

MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY. THANK YOU SIR, FOR YOUR SERVICE. TO THIS GREAT NATION. YOU WERE INDEED, A HERO. R.I.P.

My deepest condolences, may he rest in peace. As a Californian I appreciated all he did, and owe him a great debt as part of The Greatest Generation for his inspiration and service. He was an honorable man, not to be forgotten. Hold your memories close and they will help you through this difficult time. Our veterans and those currently serving deserve our total honor and respect. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

"Another comrade has been summoned by the high command, he has gone to report to the Commander of us all". God speed as another American Hero has departed us.

To the Compton family, please accept my deepest condolences. The world owes an enormous debt to Lt Compton and The Greatest Generation for their service, sacrifice and enormous contributions to free nations on this earth. Californians must honor his service and accomplishments for their state. LT, I wish you Godspeed as you join your wife and comrades in arms. Thank you sir.

What is there that can be said in regards to individuals like Mr. Compton. Thank you seems to ring hollow in light of the sacrifice made by Mr. Compton and his family. You will not be forgotten your memory will live on every day as we enjoy this precious gift of our freedom. Our sincere condolences to the friends and family of Lynn Compton.

Thank you! Soldier, Hero & Patriot. RIP. God Bless! Taps.

God Bless, Rest in Peace. And thank you for your service.

My condolences to the Compton Family, friends and loved ones. If we were to sum up Buck Compton's life, we'd all agree, it was a pretty good one. He was blessed with a loving wife, two adoring daughters, grandchildren, and 90 years to live it all. We bid you farewell, Mr. Compton, time to join your wife and your Band of Brother's for a reunion party. Godspeed Lynn, Godspeed...

A role model for all seasons, Buck did his duty for our country and we should never forget him and all the men that gave us freedom. I think he would have wanted all WWII vet to get full recognition for duty served. Thank you sir for your total life.

My father was a WW II Vet, and I am also a Vet, but not of the calber of these fine Heroes. I just wish I could have met Mr. Compton and told him Thank You. A TRUE Hero! Rest In Peace, Sir.

A true American hero. May he rest in peace.

There's a reason they're known as "The Greatest Generation." Thank you, Mr. Compton. God bless you.

TO THE COMPTON FAMILY WE SHARE OUR CONDOLENCES WITH YOU,AT PSALMS 90:10 IN THEMSELVES THE DAY OF OUR YEARS ARE SEVENTY YEARS;AND IF BECAUSE OF SPECIAL MIGHTINESS THEY ARE EIGHTY YEARS, LYNN D. COMPTON WAS ONE OF THE MIGHTY ONES.

Like my dad, another WWII vet, he is a real hero. Like my dad, served on D-Day. Like my dad, was a humble man. Did his duty and moved on. Never talked about it.

The world is losing a great generation whose teachings are sorely missed.

RIP, Mr. Compton.

Truly one of the "Greatest Generation". Thank you for
your service and God bless...

God Speed Buck!

My sincere sympathy to the Compton family. May you have solace in prayer. Psalms 65:2

He was a thru gentleman.

Our condolences to the Compton family. We had the honor to meet Mr Compton at a book signing in an army base in Germany. An experience we cherish in our hearts forever.

Our condolences to the Compton family for their loss of their father. We became admirers of their father and the rest of Easy Company after watching the HBO series Band of Brothers. Mr. Compton will never be forgotten along with the rest of bravest heroes of WWII.Your last and final jump has been done, may you rest in peace.

Thanks for serving Buck, we'll see you again some day on calmer shores.

Thanks for his service for our country! Condolences for his family and friends. What a legacy he has left! May you be comforted by the prayers being lifted for you, embraced by your memories and held in love by your faith.

My deepest condolences to the Compton family. My father Judge J. Steve Williams was one of his dear friends. On several occasions we had the joy of spending time with "Uncle Buck". He had an amazing sense of humor and i love all the great stories of my father and his days as young men. I was named after your beautiful mother Donna as a result of their deep friendship. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time.
