Died peacefully at home with family by his side on Sunday, December 24, 2023 just shy of his 95th birthday. Charlie, of Collingwood, was the beloved husband and best friend of Audrey (nee McLaughlin) for over 71 years. Loving father of Paul (Judy) and Joanne (Adam). Cherished grandfather of Nicole (Jim), Tina (Chris) and Scott. Treasured great-grandfather of Brooke, Connor, Brayden and Jacob. Dear brother of Gladys, Ruth and Glenn. Charlie was predeceased by his parents Thomas and Eileen, his sister Doris and his brother Ron. Lovingly remembered by his nieces, nephews, extended family and many friends.
Charlie was “Mr. Fix-It”, a mechanic by trade, who never once had a car accident in all his years of driving. He loved to be outdoors, hunting and fishing; he also enjoyed fiddle music and square-dancing. He will be remembered by all who knew him as a kind, outgoing man who lived life to the fullest.
