Mr. Charles William Hartson, 83, passed away unexpectedly on Dec. 16, 2015.
Charlie was born in Winthrop on March 26, 1932, son of the late Maynard and Clara (Tower) Hartson. He was raised and educated locally, graduating from Brasher-Stockholm high school. Charlie served in the U.S. Air Force from 1952-56 and thereafter married his beloved wife, Beverly Ann Dibble in Petersburg, New York, on Nov. 3. They shared a unique loving union of 35 years until the time of Beverly's passing on Jan. 1, 1992.
After serving in the Air Force, Chuck worked as a job setter, welder, and later as a truck driver for General Motors for nearly 30 years. He also enjoyed driving logging truck for several of his friends.
Charlie is survived by his two daughters: Dawn Hewlett and her husband, Pat Hewlett, of Potsdam, Kathy Eggleson of Potsdam, and ex son-in-law, William Eggleson of Canton; his sister, Ruthie Garvey of Winthrop; six granddaughters: Nichole Galusha-Troicke and her husband, Andrew Troicke, Anna Galusha, Jayne Galusha and her companion, Brad Ryan, Aleasha Hartson and her companion, Kenny Charleson, Brittany Hartson, and Mackenzie Hartson; two grandsons, Joe Galusha and Charles T. "Chuckie" Hartson; four great-grandchildren; several nieces, nephews, and cousins; and his second family, John and Amy Fraser of St. Regis Falls.
Besides his parents and wife, he was predeceased by a son, Charles Wayne Hartson; and his brothers, Clayton, Clyde, Malcolm and Carlton Hartson.
Chuck was rarely idle; he loved to spend his days driving around the North Country visiting friends, eating at his favorite dinners and enjoying the beautiful scenery. His compassion and sense of humor were adored by many and he will be greatly missed.
