Charles Linden Obituary

Virginia Beach - Charles E. "Charlie" Linden, 77, passed away July 3, 2023. A native New Yorker who despite having lived in Virginia for over twenty years never lost his New York accent. Charlie graduated from the police academy in 1972 and proudly served the people of New York and New Jersey as both an officer and detective for the Port Authority Police Department. Upon retiring to Virginia Beach, Charlie worked as a security officer at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. His greatest job however was that of a devoted husband and loving father.

He is preceded in death by his mother Marie Wiederhold and his wife Maura. He is survived by his four children Steven Linden and his wife Kathy, Ian Linden and his wife Rachel, Christopher Linden and his wife Michele and Kerry Linden and her husband Mike; and seven grandchildren, Hayden, Steven, Kyeligh, Noah, Delainey, Amelia and Emery.

The family will receive friends Saturday July 8, 2023 from 6pm-8pm in Altmeyer Funeral Home, 5033 Rouse Drive, Virginia Beach. The service will be Sunday July 9, 2023 at 1pm in Altmeyer Funeral Home with burial to follow at Colonial Grove Memorial Park. Condolences can be made at www.altmeyer.com.

I live in the Landstown neighborhood. I met Charlie and Maura in 2008. I didn't know that Charlie passed. We would always have a nice "catch up" conversation when we saw each other. He was an amazing man. He will surely be missed. May he rest in peace. My condolences to you all!
