Charlie worked at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for 37 years in the Speech-Language Pathology program part of the Department of Special Education and Communication Disorders. He had a passion for teaching and helping those who stuttered, specializing in youth stuttering. He was a consummate student mentor sitting on or chairing many masters thesis and doctoral dissertation committees. Survived by his wife, Bonnie Whitemore; sons Gavin Healey of Arizona and Nathan, wife Kathy and granddaughter Amelie Healey of South Dakota; stepsons Erich Whitemore and granddaughter Mya, and Cory Whitemore, both of Nebraska; his brother Lee Healey and numerous nephews and nieces. He had a joy and zest for life and will be missed by many.

Dear Bonnie, Charlie was an outstanding scholar and an all-round great colleague. He chose an avenue of study much needed in the field and explored it throughly. Students admired him, professionals looked up to him, and peers trusted his judgement. HIs contributions to the field and to the community were significant. Thank you for sharing him with us over the years. He made us all the better for it.

I was fortunate to meet Charlie because I am married to Christy, his former sister-in-law when she was married to Ron Healey, her late husband. Charlie and I shared some great times together both with and without Bonnie and Christy. We enjoyed several rounds of golf which are great memories and one of my favorite pictures of Charlie is with he and my sons Mark and Justin and Christy's son Doug who took first place in our golf scramble the morning of Christy's and my wedding (4/29/2016). He didn't have his clubs with him and finding a set was more of a challenge since Charlie stood on the "other side" of the ball. But we did, and apparently the clubs worked out OK. Thanks Charlie for helping to make our wedding day even more special by your presence. I will truly miss you.

My sincere sympathies and prayers to you and your family, Bonnie. Charlie had a life-changing impact on my life. He inspired and encouraged me to specialize in stuttering therapy. More than that, Charlie was our dear and most respected friend in our Omaha-Lincoln NSA Chapter. Rest in peace, Charlie. Thank you for all you did for me, and for our friends who stutter.
