Charles Little Obituary

Charles B. Little

December 26, 2023

Fresno, California - Chuck passed away suddenly but peacefully in December 2023 at the age of 87. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Lorna; daughter and son-in-law Susan and Brian Andritch; son and daughter-in-law Vernon and Katherine Little; grandchildren George Little, and Nicholas and Jonathan Andritch; sister Jean Ralls; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Chuck was born in Arkansas in 1936 and moved to California with his family in 1946. After graduating from high school in Campbell, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, serving three years as a radio technician. Following discharge, Chuck earned his BS and MBA degrees at San Jose State University, and then worked for Lockheed Martin as an electrical engineer until retirement. While working, Chuck designed and built a house in Ben Lomond, where he and Lorna lived for more than 40 years before relocating to Fresno in 2014. He loved to design and build things, and to show his grandsons how to use his many tools. A celebration of Chuck's life will be held at a later date.
