GLEN LAKE – Charles L. Ogden, 81, of Glen Lake, passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 9, 2023, with his family at his side.

Born on May 26, 1942 in Glens Falls, NY, he was the son of the late Lewis and Virginia Ogden. Chuck was a 1960 graduate of Lake George High School.

After graduation, he went to work at Sandy Hill Corp., where he continued to work for 36 years, and retiring as Supervisor of Material Control. While working at Sandy Hill, he was also the President of the Credit Union, a member of the Sandy Hill Club, and stayed active with the other retirees by cooking and helping at the annual picnic.

Chuck joined the Bay Ridge Fire Company and Rescue Squad in 1961. He started his volunteer fire career as a Line Officer, and then held the positions of Chief, President and Director for many years. He was also a past Deputy Fire Coordinator for Warren County, President of the Warren County Chiefs and Officers and was Treasurer at the time of his death for the Warren County Past Chiefs. In 2022, Chuck was honored for his 60 years of volunteer fire service.

He was a very active member of the Harrisena Community Church. He was a member of the Fellowship Committee, a member of the Church Council and a Church Trustee for many years. He enjoyed his time in the church kitchen cooking for the Men's Club Breakfasts and the yearly chicken barbeque.

One of his greatest enjoyments was living on Glen Lake. He and his family moved to the lake in 1952 and Chuck remained a lifelong resident until his passing. He was a past President of the Glen Lake Association, and could often be seen on his weekly boat rides. He enjoyed spending time on the lake and took great pride in passing that enjoyment on to his daughter and grandchildren.
