Lynn D. “Buck” Compton, an Army paratrooper whose World War II service was portrayed in the book and HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers” and who later as a prosecutor secured a conviction of Robert F. Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan, died Feb. 26 at his home in Burlington, Wash. He was 90.

He was later a part of the infamous "Hat Squad" in the LAPD, the inspiration for most of the characters in "L.A. Confidential." One of my friends was medically retired from the LAPD during the Watts riots and he was a close friend of Compton and many of the other men in the hat squad. My only reference for his character is based upon the portrayal of his war exploits from the mini series but from all other accounts, he seems like a great guy.
RIP Buck Compton, we hardly knew ye.
