Philip "Chuck" Pollock, a cherished member of the community, passed away on June 25, 2025, in Dayton, Ohio, at the age of 76. Born on October 7, 1948, in Dayton, Chuck was a proud graduate of Germantown High School, Class of 1967.

Chuck dedicated a significant portion of his professional life as an electrician, starting his career at DP&L before retiring from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Hospital in 2014. His commitment to service extended beyond his career, as he was also a veteran of the U.S. Air Force Reserves, showcasing his dedication to his country.

An enthusiastic car aficionado, Chuck loved classic and sports cars and found joy in tinkering around his garage, where he would often immerse himself in his passion. This hands-on spirit transcended into his community involvement where he served diligently as a long-time member and treasurer of the Fish-n-Fun Club, creating lasting memories with friends and family alike.  Chuck was known for his outgoing personality and his ability to become friends with everyone he met.

He leaves behind a loving family, including his daughter Jennifer (Jeffrey) Lange and his sister Amy (Steve) Kelley. His girlfriend, Lynn Francis, brought warmth and companionship into his life. He is also survived by several nieces—Laura Jena, Becky Faber, Heather Kelley, Holly Pollock, and Amber Castro—who will fondly remember him.

Chuck was preceded in death by his parents, Lester O. and Martha (Smith) Pollock, and his brother Steve M. Pollock.

Visitation will be held at Arpp, Root, Carter Funeral Home in Germantown, Ohio, on July 1, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. A funeral service celebrating his life will take place the following day, July 2, 2025, at 10:00 AM.

Chuck Pollock's legacy of kindness, passion for life, and commitment to his family and community will remain in the hearts of those who knew him. His impact will forever be remembered through cherished memories and the stories shared by family and friends.
