In memoriam, Mr. John Stephen Bucalo, Esq., December 26, 1926 -- September 24, 1989, taken from us too soon after a valiant struggle against cancer.
John Bucalo was one of Dr. Jacques Pluss's mentors. He was a criminal defense attorney, a King's County, New York (Brooklyn) Assistant District Attorney (1956-1958), an independent real estate broker, and an automobile dealer. He ran on the Conservative Party ticket for the U.S. Congress a number of times in the 1960's. He was President of the Stony Brook, NY, Civic Association from 1961 -- 1965.
Most significantly, he was a member of the National Rifle Assocation, The John Birch Society, and the Conservative Party of America.
He was a U.S. Navy V-5 Naval Pilot Veteran of World War 2, and he saw action in the Pacific Theater, specifically in the Battle of Midway.
He was married to Virginia Sullivan Bucalo (1926 -- 1986), and is survived by a son and two daughters, and by a nephew, Jacques Pluss, Ph.D.
