"Mr. Bufkin loved the seminary," T.J. McGlothlin, the assistant treasurer under Bufkin, said. "He was a dedicated Christian man." Mr. McGlothlin, who became the seminary's treasurer in 1981, said Mr. Bufkin was known for his work ethic.
"He had a great attitude," Mr. McGlothlin said. "He was a hard worker. Back then the administrative staff was equivalent to about 12 people. It was 60, 70, 80-hour weeks. There was no such thing as a 35-hour week. He was a very accomplished man."
In 1979, Southern Seminary named a building after Mr. Bufkin at the Seminary Village housing complex in honor of his service.
He celebrated his 70th wedding anniversary with his wife, Frances Green Bufkin, in 2000, just months before her death.
