Charles Harvey Goddard

1933 - 2022

Charles Harvey Goddard, devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather of Wordsworth SK passed away peacefully Oct. 1, 2022, at the age of 89. Irene, his loving wife of 64 years was by his side. Born in July of 1933 Charlie, as he was referred to lovingly by his siblings, is survived by his wife, Irene, and their two sons, Warren, and Chad. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews, and sisters Mabel (Joyce), Olive, and Violet. Charles was predeceased by his daughter Shannon, his parents Oscar and Mabel Goddard, and siblings Richard, Frank (Irving), Robert, Mildred, Calvin, and Dorothy (Mae). Chucks interests and hobbies kept him active all year long. Golfing with friends and family was his passion but he could always be found curling or bowling in the off season. Over the years his enjoyment for hunting with his military buddies may have waned but he remained an avid fisherman long into his retirement. The camaraderie and long-lasting friendships this provided was very important to him. Charles joined the RCAF in 1954 and served proudly for 23 1/2 years as an Aviation Electronics Technician keeping our military aircraft flying safely. He parlayed this significant skillset into another 13 years with Air Canada specializing in the A320Airbus until he retired in 1993. Charles' true legacy will be his exuberance for life and his love and devotion to all his family and friends. A private service will be held at a later date.
