The man known as the founder of Dover Downs that brought horse and auto racing to Delaware has died at the age of 96.
David Buckson also served at Delaware’s Governor, Lt. Governor state Attorney General and a Delaware Family Court judge.
One of his sons David told WBOC that his father had a full life and was never satisfied with simply existing.
Ed Sutor, president and CEO of Dover Downs Hotel and Casino, told the televisions station that Buckson could be seen with a hat that noted he was the founder of the establishment.
The facility now employs 18-hundred people.
