The Golden Bachelorette Meet Captain Kim Buike
There are so many amazing contenders for Joan Vassos that she is an extremely lucky Golden Bachelorette. She has men that viewers either think would be great for her or her former Golden Bachelor co-stars. Some would even make great contenders to be the next Golden Bachelor but first, they have to keep getting to know Joan. One of the fan favorites is Captain Kim Buike. He showed up to meet Joan in his full uniform and immediately stole hearts across the country. More so, she was blown away by his manners and charm.
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. He is a father and a grandfather which is an asset as Joan has emphasized the importance of family. She is looking for a family man who will take her on her next adventure in life. Will Captain Kim be the one?
