Charles Henry Mayer

Sorry for your loss. I was curious about former pastors with whom I had known and admired. I remember babysitting Doug and Tim when they were about 10 and 8. I remember they had a German Shepherd. I liked the retreats Pastor Mayer took us Luther Leaguers on.

I knew Pastor Mayer in two capacities. He was my junior catechism teacher at Emanuel Lutheran Church in Warren, Ohio, when I was in the seventh grade. Then he was campus pastor when I was a student at Capital University. It has been many years, but the memories of him are still with me. He was someone special. Go with the Lord, Pastor.

Pastor Mayer was my youth pastor at Emanuel Lutheran Church in Warren Ohio. He accompanied me and several Luther Leaguers to the National Convention in Miami FL in 1962?? We met Martin Luther King Jr there and traveled there by train from Youngstown through DC. Stayed at the Fountain Blue Hotel on the ocean front.
He was an awesome Junior Church pastor. Being a Lutheran now for 75 years, I credit him with my first real connection with our lord.
Peace and blessing to all of his...

On behalf of Cap Connections Continued at Capital University, we write to express the sympathy of Emeriti/Emerita and retirees who shared Charles's ministry and that of Nancy and Starr. Starr, you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time of grief and celebration of his life. He will surely be missed by many who loved him.

Charles was always on the side of love in our discussions in Men's Group. I miss his wisdom.

Starr, We were so sorry to read of Charles' death in today's Daily Press. I know you must miss him terribly - his humor, his compassion, his very presence. Our prayers are with you and your family as you mourn his passing. Bill and Cheryl Corvello, The Chamberlin, Fort Monroe, VA

Dear Starr and family,
Memories overfow as I read this news about Chuck. I will always remember the wonderful times together in another era! What a joy-filled man! Blessings to you and yours. Keep well.
