Charles J. Hoover, age 91, went to be with his savior on December 11, 2020 at York Hospital. He was the loving husband of Opal (Bailey) Hoover; together they shared over 29 years of marriage.

He went on to work as an electrician for CC Kottcamp before retiring in 1991. Charles was a member at Bible Baptist Church and a former member, deacon, and Sunday School teacher for Manor Baptist Church. He loved people and truly loved the Lord and would not miss any opportunity to spend time God’s house. He was a farmer at heart and kept his family fed from his garden.
