Charles Wetmore Obituary

Unexpectedly, but at peace, Chuck Wetmore of Plum Borough passed away and returned to eternal rest with the Lord on March 2, 2026, at 65. Chuck was the son of the late Virginia and Charles Wetmore. He was the loving husband of Mary Lee for 38 years and the proud father of Mark. He graduated from Riverview High School in 1978 and remained close with many of his high school friends. Through much perseverance he obtained his bachelor's degree from the University of Pittsburgh. He began his career in the window business at the age of 14 at Bonair Products and then moved on to several other window companies. In 2013 Chuck became the owner and CEO of Kensington HPP. Throughout his career he continued to be a hands-on leader, mentoring many employees and building relationships with customers and suppliers. Chuck was a humble and kind man. He was generous with this time, whether it was coaching Mark's baseball team when he was younger, volunteering his time at church or simply spending time with his family and friends. He was loved by all, including his three sisters, Kathy (Chuck) Haught, Patti Rudy, and Laura Biery; and his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Jeff and Elaine Deakins. He was the uncle of Shannon Hatcher (Jeff), Blair Biery, Derek Deakins (Amy Hilton), and Reed and Colbie Hatcher. Chuck was an active member of Holiday Park United Methodist Church, where he attended services weekly and served on a variety of committees. He was a board member of Spenser's Voice.
