Charlie was a history teacher in the Wellsboro Area School District, retiring after 34 years, a local professional painter and a longtime member of both St. Peter’s Catholic Church and the Tyoga Country Club. He enjoyed golf, poker, and pursuing his great passion of coaching in several sports, especially as a longtime coach with the Wellsboro Boys’ Basketball Program. Charlie was a wonderful Husband, Father and Pop Pop. Known as “Sr.” or “Coach” by many, his presence in the Wellsboro community will be greatly missed. He will always be deeply loved by his family and friends.

He was preceded in death by a sister and grandson.

Butler Middle School 9 Nichols St, Wellsboro), Samaritan House, (in care of St. Peter’s Catholic Church at 47 Central Ave, Wellsboro), or the Wellsboro Food Pantry (PO Box 547, Wellsboro).
