Charles McNAMEE Obituary

McNAMEE, Charles R. "Charlie" Passed away Sunday, June 17, 2018, at Brookdale of Oakwood at the age of 83. The son of John Robert and Edna Jack McNamee, Charlie was born and raised in Xenia, Ohio, was a member of St. Brigid Church, and a 1952 graduate of St. Brigid High School. After serving in the United States Army during the Korean War, Charlie began a career as a coal and gas operator in Pikeville, KY, which culminated with him becoming an owner and operator of the Continental Coal Sales Corporation in Dayton, Ohio. Charlie served on the University of Notre Dame Engineering Advisory Council, was an Emeritus Trustee of the University of Dayton, was a member of the Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation Samaritan Society, and was a regular and generous donor to programs for the homeless, hungry, and abused throughout the Miami Valley. In 1992, Charlie and his wife, Charline, provided seed money to start the Samaritan Homeless Clinic on Edwin C. Moses Blvd. in Dayton. Today, the Clinic provides over 1,800 homeless individuals and families with medical, dental and mental health care on an annual basis. Charlie will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 35 years, Charline Schofield McNamee, his children, Michael (Cynthia), Mark (Joy), Kathleen, Charlie (Courtney), and David, his grandchildren, Erin (George) Giles, Charles R., Michael, Daniel, Charles H., Nolan, Abigail, Hillary, Patrick, Garrett, Chelbie (Tyler) Able, Cody, and Sarah. He is also survived by Charline's children, Melissa (John David) Lively and Reagan Burch, and Charline's grandchildren, Amanda (JC) Kauffman, Jeffrey (Alisa) Lively, and Ryan Lively. Charlie is further survived by a sister, Jean Enxing, two brothers, William (Peggy), and Gerald "Jerry" (Mary Anne), by numerous great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and by many close friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and by a brother, Hugh. Charlie will be remembered as a passionate professional and a compassionate human being, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. A Memorial Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 3 pm, Friday, June 22, at St. Brigid Church, 312 Fairground Rd., Xenia, with Fr. John Krumm officiating. Visitation will be held from 2 pm Friday until service time at the church. Burial will be held at the convenience of the family in St. Brigid Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Charlie's memory may be made to the GSH Foundation, 2200 Philadelphia Drive, Suite 500, Dayton, OH 45406, for the benefit of the Samaritan Homeless Clinic, or to the St. Francis of Assisi Church Building Fund, 137 Bryan Street, Pikeville, KY 41501.

Charlie was a friend and Mentor to me. I met Charlie in 1972 and we stayed in contact through the years. His passing presents a tremendous loss to me; like a part of me is gone. My prayers go out to all his family and those who knew him. He was a tremendous man.

I remember Charlie and my father going some Saturdays to Notre Dame for football games. Maybe with the two of them they can convince God to give us a National Championship. Dad coached the softball team that Charlie sponsored and many times presented Charlie with tournament trophies. I am so sorry for your loss. Karen Cain-Molden
