Charles Waesche Obituary
Charles was a vibrant and fun-loving character, who was dedicated to his family. He loved to be loved, and to make others feel loved. Charles enjoyed golf, sports, horse racing, music and reading his bible. He loved his church of the last two years and all the parishioners who became a part of his family. He served in the Army as a young man then went on to work for McCormick Spice Co. He then bought and ran his own small business as a Pepperidge Farm Distributor. After he sold his business, he and Betty retired to Ocean Pines and fell in love with the community where he had the "best neighbors in the world". He enjoyed working as a starter for Ocean Pines Golf Club and a bus driver for Francis Scott Key Hotel.
He is survived by his son, Charles C. Waesche, Jr. (Kim), daughters, Kathy Sue Henninger (David), and DeeDee McCracken (Kevin), a brother, Robert Waesche (Merle), 10 grandchildren, Carly Johnson (Alex), Patrick McCarthy, Kelly Jones (Joshua), Annie Eaton Bautista (Carlos), Shane McCarthy (Jessica), Gary Eaton (Julia), Michele Waesche, Scott Eaton (Robyn), Lisa Waesche, and Lori Waesche.
In addition, 12 great-grandchildren, Aiden Johnson, Isaiah Johnson, Ezra Johnson, Uriel Johnson, Onyx Johnson, Zadok Johnson, Matthew Jones, Madilyn Jones, Esme Bautista, Waylon Eaton, Juniper Eaton, and Dylen Cadogan.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his beautiful wife of 63 years Betty Jane Smith Waesche, a daughter, Karen Ann Eaton, two brothers, Albert Waesche Jr., and Billy Robertson, a sister, Doris Lessner and a beloved granddaughter, Katie McCarthy.
