Obituary of Charles Harvey Spahr
Charles H. (Chuck) Spahr
Charles (Chuck) Spahr died peacefully on September 17, 2016 after a brief illness. Despite his struggles he was THE most gentle of souls and never met a stranger. Chuck lived all of his 81 years caring for others, putting his family first.
Chuck was born to Chalmers & Stella (Hillier) Spahr on October 22, 1934. He was an avid sportsman and sports fan and was an honorary member of the Swede Olson/Jim France Hall of Fame at Manchester High School where he was an all-star athlete. An allied craftsman & member of the Bricklayers Local #7, Chuck enjoyed laying brick & stone and was called upon by people from all over Ohio to transform their homes & especially their fireplaces into works of art. He will be missed by his friends at the Turkeyfoot Sportsman Club and the Fraternal Order of the Eagles (Aerie 2736) of which he was a loyal member.
Chuck was preceded in death by his loving wife of 46 years Marjorie Harvey; granddaughters Caitlyn & Mariah Sensius; and sister Edith. He is survived by his children Chad (Kristy) of New Franklin and Carri (Steve) Sensius of Green; grandchildren Leslie & Maddie Spahr, and Hannah & Andrew Sensius; brother Ed of New Franklin; and many nieces & nephews.
Special thanks to the Brookdale Assisted Living in Barberton and the Aultman Compassionate Care Center for their kind & loving care of Chuck.
