Brian Joseph Buckley

Brian Buckley of Palm Beach, Florida; Marblehead, Massachusetts; and Boca Raton, Florida.

Excerpted from his obituary:

"... He grew up in Marblehead and became one of the preeminent athletes in Marblehead High School history. Featured in Sports Illustrated 'Faces in the Crowd' as a 9th grader, he was most known as a southpaw quarterback "Broadway Brian". Brian was also an MVP, All American and captain in both baseball and football. His thrilling 20-12 victory over Swampscott in the 1973 Thanksgiving game is still one of the most memorable games of that rivalry. Missing his senior year at Marblehead High from a left shoulder injury, he went on to have a great post-graduate year at Exeter Academy and continued his football career at Harvard. He was the offensive MVP of the Blue-Gray Classic Bowl game in 1980 and holds the record for the longest touchdown pass. He was drafted by the NE Patriots in 1981. He was a member of the Marblehead Gridiron Club's Hall of Fame. While at Harvard, Brian majored in history and was a member of the Spee Club. After his football career ended, he embarked upon a career in sports promotion and marketing. Brian was a longtime member of the Tedesco Country Club. ..."
