CHARLES WILSON

Charles Eugene Wilson, 95, of Colerain, OH, went to his eternal rest on March 31, 2018 at Liza’s Place, to be united with his wife, Leona.

Charles was born on September 3, 1922, the son of the late Mary Abagail Hocking Wilson and Francis Eugene Wilson.

He was a devoted husband and wonderful father, grandfather and great- grandfather. He loved riding his motorcycle and cutting grass on his tractor with his beloved dog, Onyx. He was a life-long hard worker retiring in his 90’s from Wilson Blacktop Corp. where he enjoyed working daily with his sons for 30 plus years.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Leona E. (Frohnapfel) Wilson; sister, Virginia Rose; brother, Robert Wilson and grandson, Flynt Wilson.

Charles is survived by his five sons; Charles (Sandy), Mark (Janice), Dale (Carla), Kevin (Marcie) all of Colerain and Denis (Gretchen) of Wheeling, WV; nine grandchildren; Tiffany Henninger, Ty Wilson, Jamie Kovalski, Katie Christiansen, Carrie Beckett, Dale Wilson, Jr., Jared Wilson, Matt Wilson and Darek Wilson. 11 great grandchildren: Sunnie, Ian, Brodie, Audrey, Adrienne, Makenna, Madison, Scarlett, Charlie, Kole, Luke and many nieces and nephews.
