Charles Aubrey Barlow "Chuck," of Charleston ended his courageous battle with pancreatic cancer on Tuesday, Sept. 25, 2007, at Cabell Huntington Hospital.
Chuck was preceded in death by his father, Carl H. Barlow of Fort Smith; and his sister, Virginia Novak of Spokane, Wash.
Surviving are his wife, Bonnie Barlow; daughters, Lahanna Stalnaker of Charleston, W.Va., and Natalie McClellan and husband Scott of Suffolk, Va.; son, Phil Zita and his wife, Shelly of Belair, Ohio; mother, Grace T. Barlow of Fort Smith; brother, Curtis H. Barlow and his wife, Cecilia of La Quinta, Calif.; beloved nephew, Ricardo Novak of Whidbey Island, Wash.; grandchildren, Devon, Zach, Abigail and Sydney; and countless friends.
A special thank you to Stephen Taylor for his lifetime support and friendship to Chuck.
Chuck was born and grew up in Fort Smith. He graduated from Northside High School in 1969, Arkansas Tech University in 1973 with a B.S. degree in geology and from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville with a master of science degree in geology in 1981.
Chuck was employed by the WV State Revenue Department, Property Tax Division. He was chief geologist, tax analyst managing the Mined Minerals/GIS section. Chuck was instrumental in the creation, designing and initiating of how coal is valued in the state. He was a true advocate believing that the state should and could reap the benefits of an acceptable executed coal valuation. Upon his retirement on Sept. 13, 2007, he received recognition for his 12 1/2 years of dedicated service and loyalty. As one co-worker so aptly stated, "I love your sardonic wit and jovial, easy going nature. I consider myself lucky and honored to have worked with you ..."
Chuck loved family, friends, exotic food and international travel. He was an insatiable "bookworm." His friends knew of his zealous love of "geologia" to be a daily conversation whether astrology, paleonentology, or the best places to camp or visit.
A memorial service will be announced at a later date and posted on the Hafer Funeral Home Web site, which is handling the arrangements.
