Charles J. Marrone

MARRONE, Charles J. On December 13, 2008, of Washington Twp. Formerly of Hammon- ton. Age 87. Beloved husband of the late Naomi. Devoted father of Sandra Matlack (Charles), Katherine Rubin (Robert), Laura Marrone (Michael Sperry) and Doug Holmgren (Kathy). Loving grandfather of Gabe, Rachael, Chris, Aidan, Shawn and Angela. Charlie grew up in Wilmington, DE, the oldest of 4. He served in the South Pacific during WWII and was a PT boat veteran. He married Naomi Richter on Sept. 17, 1949, and worked for ARCO for over 25 years, retiring in 1976. When his wife retired in 1979, they moved to Hammon-ton and enjoyed 20 years together in retirement. Charlie enjoyed many years of reunions around the country with fellow PT boat veterans, as well as watching his grandchildren grow up. He had the gift of gab, a great wit and enjoyed telling jokes and stories to anyone who would listen. He also had fun going to watch the horses run and playing cards with his retired buddies (usually having a winning streak). Charlie's gentle and kind spirit will be greatly missed by his family. Arrangements under the direction of EGIZI FUNERAL HOME, Washington Twp. Services will be private at the convenience of the family. Condolences may be shared with the family at www.egizifuneral.com.
