Obituary for Charles "Chuck" B. Long
Charles “Chuck” B. Long - Age 84, beloved husband of Helen T. (Ellis) Long died Friday at their home surrounded by his family.
He was born in Evanstown, PA, May 26, 1934, a son of the late Charles and Josephine (Golomb) (Long) Cheplic and was raised in Pennsylvania before moving to Brockton and then moved to Billerica 49 years ago. He proudly served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War.
Chuck was employed as an Engineer for Honeywell for 27 years and later worked at the Spire Corp. for 18 years before his retirement. He was a member of the St. Andrew’s Bowling League for 38 years and was a former member of the Billerica Knight of Columbus and Billerica Elks.
Chuck enjoyed life to the fullest. He loved to travel and especially enjoyed the summer vacations spent in Maine at Point Sebago with his family and extended family. Chuck was always ready to share a joke or two with anyone including his signature “unique rabbit” joke.
The family would like to thank the Lahey at Home Hospice for their compassionate care of Chuck and a special thanks to Wendy, Tammy and Tiffany.
