Charles Garman Obituary
Surviving are his children: Sandy (John) Bergman of Minster, Tim Garman of New Bremen, Keith (Yvonne) Garman of New Bremen and Amy (Robin) Webster of New Bern, North Carolina; his 16 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; two great-great grandchildren and a sister, Patti Stachler of Philothea. Along with his parents and wife, Charlie was preceded in death by a son, John Garman, a daughter, Janet Harrod, five sisters and five brothers.
Charlie attended Minster High School. He had been an active member of the Church of the Holy Redeemer in New Bremen.

He had been a firefighter with the New Bremen German Township Fire Department for 25 years, spending ten of those years as the assistant chief. He enjoyed working with his hands and he spent many hours doing woodworking, helping to repair cars and doing anything handy for others after his retirement. In his spare time Charlie enjoyed spending time with his Wendy's coffee club, going fishing, throwing horseshoes and playing euchre and poker.
