HOWELL Charles "Charlie" Charles "Charlie" Howell, age 79, of Toledo, passed away Monday, June 30th, 2008, at West Toledo Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center. He was born February 2, 1929, into a large family in Hackleburg, Alabama. Charlie has only 4 surviving sisters, Maebelle Phipps of Michigan, Charlsie Brealand of Missouri, Mellene Tice of Alabama and Luevell "Sue" Stager of Toledo. Charlie served in the U.S. Navy and then married and remained married to Catherine (Schiffman) Howell for 58 years. Their union brought 2 wonderful children, Mike and Elaine Howell; granddaughter, Heather Kae and great-grandchildren, Hunter and Shirley. Charlie was a fisherman and a wildlife enthusiast teaching both of his children to fish and enjoy the outdoors. The family looked forward to the 2 and 3 weeks family vacations in Ste. St. Marie, MI and Ontario, Canada for pike fishing. His son Mike's school was in need of a Cub Scout leader and Charlie offered his service and became a leader for many years. He also was involved with the older scouts through Indian Dancing performing at many area churches and schools. Seeing that the neighborhood kids enjoyed ice skating and hockey Charlie flooded the vacant lot behind his house and hooked up flood lights so the kids could have a place to skate and have lots of fun. He was a member of Hope United Methodist Church, but due to his poor health Charlie was unable to attend services each week. Charlie was a tool and die maker for more than 35 years working at several area shops, retiring at the age of 60 because of his health and an impending heart surgery. But because he enjoyed helping people, Charlie returned to the workforce at Bartz Viviano and Janney's Ace to help in many different ways. The Howell family would like to thank the nurses and aides of West Toledo Healthcare for the loving care and support they provided for Charlie during his stay. Family and friends are invited to a Memorial Service on Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. at Hope United Methodist Church, 4069 W. Sylvania Ave. Officiating will be Rev. John Richards.

You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one. The chain will link again.
