He is a sixty-nine-year-old retired Navy Captain with a heart of gold but, according to Meaww, he admitted dating at his age comes with a lot of fear. Kim explained how hard it was especially after his wife, Mary passed away from ovarian cancer. Per an Instagram post, she died seven years ago and he chose to honor her in a very special way:

“September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month. My wife Mary died 7 years ago after fighting this horrible disease for 3 years. She was only 54 years old. Learn more about her cancer story by watching the YouTube video titled: Rivkin Center Kim & Mary Buike Story. There is no screening test for this cancer. It’s important to know the symptoms and seek second opinions. Organizations like the Rivkin Center (rivkin.org) that provide ovarian cancer education and fund research to fight this deadliest of the female cancers are worth supporting.”

Though he lost his beloved, Captain Kim Buike wants to show Joan Vassos his favorite activity which is life on the water.
