Anthony Joseph Bucky Bacchetta, age 85, passed away on Monday, March 9, 2020 at Jennersville Regional Hospital, Jennersville, PA. He was born on July 7, 1934, and was born and raised in Avondale, PA. He is the son of Vincenzo and Mary Bacchetta originally from Abruzzo province of Italy.

Bucky graduated from Kennett High School in 1953. After serving in the US Army in Alaska as a ski trooper, he worked in his familys mushroom growing business for many years, drove long distance trucking, and eventually was a Deputy Sheriff of Chester County before retiring.

He loved playing pool at the Hockessin VFW Post 5892 where he also served as Post Commander as well as being a life-long member of the American Legion.
