Charles Edward McGlone Jr. age, 68, passed away on November 14th, 2024, in Marion, Ohio. Charles was born to the late Charles and Janet (Welty) McGlone Sr. on June 27th, 1956 in Portsmouth, Ohio. Charles married the love of his life, Cheryl A. Franklin, and the two had a wonderful life together until her untimely passing on June 19th, 2021. Charles and Cheryl were high school sweethearts. His journey through life was marked by being a great provider for his family, encapsulated in his work as a dedicated iron worker and a proud member of the local 172 Iron Workers Union for forty years. Charles’ love for being a handyman grew when he retired. He was never satisfied with sitting still, so he went back to work to restore old houses in the Columbus area. Alongside being a handyman, he also had quite the knack for being an auto mechanic. He was an avid sports fan and would cheer for the Cleveland Browns, and the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Charles is preceded in death by his parents, loving wife, Cheryl, and his three four-legged companions Heidi, Jackie, and Jakota.
