Charles Pitzer Obituary
As much as Charles loved his Blue Ridge hometown Roanoke, his spirit of adventure beckoned him around the world. He went from "following the sunset" in his twenties to a career as a sales executive in media advertising. His warm smile and generous spirit endeared him to friends in Richmond, Nantucket, New York, San Francisco, Dallas, Toronto, Singapore and Bangkok. He was a proud alumnus of Hampden-Sydney College.
The family will hold a private burial at Evergreen Cemetery in Roanoke. A memorial service will be held at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, 6000 Grove Ave., Richmond, Va. 23226, at 2 p.m. on Thursday, December 16, 2021.
Memorials in honor of Charles may be made to the Hampden-Sydney College General Fund, with the designation "in memory of Charles Lewis Pitzer III." Friends may donate online to hsc.edu, "support" or mail to 172 Via Sacra, Hampden-Sydney, Va. 23943.

Chuck was one of my closest friends in high school. We "double dated" (Lisa and Jody, respectively) pretty much every weekend, and took turns going between Hampden Sydney and UVA during our college years. We were rarely in touch after college, but his passing is a huge personal loss for me. I will try to be there on 12/16, and I send love and condolences to Liza and Andy.
