George A. Buck, 95, passed away on Monday, March 31, 2014.  He was born on 
September 27, 1918 in Harpersfield, NY the son of Howard and Mabel (Cornell) 
Buck.  George married the former Claire Ackart on December 25, 1939 in New 
York, and she preceded him in death on October 25, 2001.

He was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church in Ionia, and enjoyed 
hunting, fishing, traveling, making maple syrup, photography, and woodworking.  
George graduated from Cornell University, and spent most of his life as an 
educator of primary grades through college in both New York State and 
Michigan.  He served his country in the Air Force during World War II as a 
gunnery instructor.

Preceding him in death were his wife, Claire; grandson, David; 4 brothers, 
Edwin, Donald, Fred and Robert Buck. 

Surviving are one son, Eugene (Lori) Buck of Reston, VA; two daughters, Drs. 
Janet (Dennis) Arnold and Kaye Buck, both of Ionia; six grandchildren, Lys, 
Lene, Nathaniel, Andrew, Wade, and Molly; eight great-grandchildren; sister, 
Mary (Richard) Linhart of FL; sister-in-law, Dianna Buck of WA. 

In memory of George's life he would encourage all he knew to enjoy the world 
around them, and to serve the Lord by being mindful of the needs of others.  He 
was an animal lover.  Any donations people are inclined to give should go to 
the animal care organization of their choosing.  A coffee hour to celebrate his 
life will take place at First Presbyterian Church, Ionia on a date to be 
determined.  A private family memorial will take place in New York State. 
Arrangements are entrusted to Lehman Funeral Homes, Ionia.
