Charles “Dinny” Waters Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 25, 2025.
Dinny Waters passed away on November 26, 2024, in Durham, New Hampshire. Born on November 18, 1946, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Dan and Jean Waters.

Dinny pursued higher education at Dean College before continuing his studies at the University of South Carolina. His passion for the water was a defining part of his life, whether navigating the open waters in Tidewaters or racing one-design sailboats in the San Francisco Bay. He also cherished time spent downhill skiing with his wife and sons, at the beach in Lake Tahoe and more recently at Kineo.

He is survived by his wife, Trisha; his sons, Charlie and Robbie; and his siblings, Duffy, Susan, Bill, and Bob.

His presence will be deeply missed by those who knew him.
