Charles Eldredge Stoddard Jr.

I worked for many years at Southern Ct. State Univ. with Charles. We were known to take small bits of some afternoons off on 1/4 vacation days to play golf. When I retired to Hampton, NH, where I still live with my wife, for years, I would drive down once a week to meet Charlie at a CT golf course -- Airways near Bradley Field was our easiest to play, but his favorite I think was Stonington Golf Course, lots of pretty holes. We also played in Thompson near to the old auto race track. ...

Dear Susan and David, Just today we found about the sudden passing away of your Dad ----Charles--a splendid person, linguist, librarian, bridge player, golfer and lover of plants and gardens!! I will miss forever reminiscing in German about milkshakes, etc at the Dairy Bar! Best wishes---Richard and Jayne

We just learned today .....as we live far away in New Brunswick , Canada...of the unexpected death of our dear and wonderful friend, Charles. He was a close friend of Richard from their days together at UConn, and we have always stayed in touch all these years, spending time together when our children were young.
I met Charles when we got married and have always cherished having a friend so full of life. He was a true enthusiast . Everything he did , he did with his whole heart...

To the Johnson and Stoddard families, and all that loved him,

I was so sorry to hear the news. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. May you find joy and comfort through the memories and time you shared with him. Lay your head down and RIP Charlie!

My dear friend Sue. I am so sorry to hear your Dad passed. I was always envious of his travels and everything he accomplished. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Marcia

Many happy memories of Charlie as librarian at Edna Stevens School in Cromwell. He was a joy to work with sharing his love of books with every child he came in contact with. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Susan and David. Barbara Spada

Sorry sorry to hear of Cousin Eldridge's passing. I will miss hearing about his adventures, travels and his wonderful outlook on life. We always looked forward any news from him. Sincere condolences to the family. Ruth & Bob Brewster, Port Orange, FL

Oh Charlie! You will be missed, saddle shoes and all. I will always remember you, sitting at a bridge table with a novel (in German) in your hand. You were a character, and the world needs more characters. RIP
