On X, many tributes to Bué have been shared, including this one from a reporter covering the Jets and the Moose:
When Richard Bue stepped away from the Moose a few years back to be closer to family in Ottawa I wrote this:

«Bue is one of the best people I've ever met in hockey.»

Just a great guy.

We continued to chat and his last message to me was a congrats back in Feb.

Will miss him.

We extend our sincerest condolences to his friends and family during this difficult time.
