Most recently he served as a contract consultant for Lee Hecht Harrison in the field of outplacement.
During the 35 years he lived in New Jersey, he was involved in numerous volunteer and government organizations. He served as the first elected Mayor of Mt. Olive Township, NJ and also served several terms on the Township Council. He was Chairman of the Mt. Olive Board of Health and the Solid Waste Advisory Committee, President of the Mt. Olive Education Foundation, President of the New Jersey Society of Training Directors, and Chairman of the New Jersey Placement Directors. He was also a member of the Board of Directors of Dover (NJ) General Hospital.
While living in New Jersey, he was a member of Hope Baptist Church. He returned to Roanoke, VA in 2003, where he became a member of North Roanoke Baptist Church. In both churches he served as a deacon, Bible Teacher, fundraiser for building expansion and on numerous committees.
A memorial service will be held at Oakey’s North Chapel on Friday, January 27th, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. with the Rev. Daniel Palmer officiating. Visitation will be held at Oakey’s North Chapel from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, January 26, 2017.
The family greatly appreciates the ministry of Home Instead Senior Care and Medi Home Health and Hospice. Chuck will especially be missed by his “Buddy” and Caregiver of almost three years, Ron Leftwitch.
In lieu of flowers the family requests you consider a memorial contribution to the North Roanoke Baptist Church Building Fund.
