Andrew A. Buck, 82, US Air Force Veteran and Family Man

Andrew A. Buck, an 82-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran, passed away peacefully at his home in Blairsville, Georgia, on Sunday, November 8, 2026, according to MOUNTAIN VIEW FUNERAL HOME.

Mr. Buck died surrounded by his family following an extended illness. He was a long-time resident of Chicory Drive East in Blairsville.

Born on April 13, 1944, in Dover, Delaware, Mr. Buck was the son of the late Milton Buck and the late Irene Laferriere Buck. His early years were shaped by the movement of a family during wartime; after the conclusion of World War II, his family relocated to St. Johnsbury, Vermont.

He pursued his education through the local school system, eventually graduating from the St. Johnsbury Trade School with a focus on mechanical drafting. This technical foundation led him to a career in a shop in Newport, Vermont.

It was during his time working in the Newport area that he met his future wife. After spotting a girl with long brown hair, he decided he would marry her, and the couple wed less than a year later.

Mr. Buck and his wife, Jeannette Chamberland Buck, shared 55 years of marriage at the time of his death. He is survived by his wife, who was described as his best friend, as well as his son, Brad Buck of Blairsville, and his daughter, April Buck of Blue Ridge.

His surviving relatives also include his brother-in-law, Raymond Chamberland of Lyndonville, Vermont, several cousins, and many other friends and relatives.

Beyond his family life, Mr. Buck served his country as a member of the United States Air Force. He remained connected to his military service as a member of the American Legion.

A memorial service for Mr. Buck may be held at a later date, with details to be announced. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to the American Cancer Society in his memory.

Mountain View Funeral Home of Blairsville is managing the arrangements. The family has made arrangements for condolences to be shared online through the funeral home’s website.
