Charles Harrison Elmore, 87, died December 29, 2008. He retired from AT&T Company in 1982 after working for 40 years in many capacities in Virginia and West Virginia. At the time of his retirement, he was an operations manager in the Richmond office. He and his wife, Elsie Elmore, who predeceased him, continued to reside in the Richmond area. Born and raised in McKenney, Virginia, Mr. Elmore attended Hampden-Sydney College for two years before leaving to work for AT&T prior to World War II.
Mr. Elmore served in the U.S. Navy until the end of that war and then returned to AT&T. He was active, capable, constant and hard-working and he had a sly sense of humor. He supported his wife in all her public service activities, including service as chairwoman of the Chesterfield Social Services Board, membership on the Governor's Advisory Committee on Child Abuse and Neglect, and membership in the League of Women Voters.
In retirement, Mr. Elmore began a woodworking hobby with a friend and traveled with his wife, both for pleasure and to document family history. He was a member of the Bon Air Methodist Church for many years.
He is survived by his daughters, Linda E. Powers and Betty E. Pincus and their families, Linda's husband, Joe, and sons, David and Ben Powers, and Betty's husband, Sam Pincus, and daughters, Deborah Munson and Rebecca Davis, with their husbands and daughters, Tony Munson, Allison Munson, Damon Davis and Ryan Davis.
