George R. "Buck" Barnhart Jr.
George R. Barnhart Jr. “Buck” of Red Hill, PA and formerly of Newtown and Philadelphia was a good and faithful servant of the Lord who went home to be with his Savior on Friday, February 7, 2020. He was 82.
Buck was the loving husband of 56 years and 10 months to Christine Garton Barnhart.
Born in Harrisburg, PA he was the son of the late George R., Sr. and Mable I. Davis Barnhart and the brother of the late Dorothy Capehart and Bonnie Barnhart.
Buck was a proud veteran of the Air Force who also would continue his service to the defense of our country by working for the Naval Air Propulsion Center in West Trenton, NJ. He was a skilled welder and fabricator who shared his talents with the students he taught at Middle Bucks Institute of Technology and at Mercer County Vocational Tech School. Buck was a talented woodworker and he also enjoyed hunting, fishing, and watching the Eagles and Flyers play, but he cherished any moment he spent with his beloved family. Buck will be greatly missed, but eternally loved and remembered as a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and brother.
