While Cisterna passed away at an early age -- wasn't it a traffic accident while he was on a scouting trip for the Padres? Ken Nixon has had a long and productive life. Kenneth “Buck” Nixon was named Director of the Year by the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives in February 2019.

The Farmer Cooperative Director of the Year Award was established to recognize the outstanding achievements of a farmer cooperative director who takes the lead to help the board of directors make decisions vital to their cooperative. NCFC is composed of nearly 3,000 local farmer cooperatives across the country and also include 26 state and regional councils of cooperatives.
Nixon and his wife recently celebrated their 57th anniversary.
