Charles Richard Carpenter, fondly known as "Chuck" or "Uncle Chuckie," was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on February 8, 1946 to the late Bernard and Viola (Singleton) Carpenter. He was born the youngest of four children. On April21, 2020, heaven gained an angel when Chuck passed away silently in his sleep at the age of 74. Chuckie was educated in the Allegheny School System. Upon graduation, he set out to further his education in Oakland, California. While studying, he also worked at the naval shipyard. He eventually returned to Pittsburgh and met his future wife Yvonne Maxine Bronaugh. They united in marriage on October 9, 1976, and together, raised a beautifully blended family of five children. Chuck was skilled at working with heavy machinery and construction. He supported his family as a homebuilder and later as a construction worker with Local Union 66 Operator Engineers. He helped build various sites and buildings all around the city of Pittsburgh, many which can be seen today. He was a strong man with an incredible sense of humor. He would give you stern advice one minute and have you laughing the next. His children grew up wise and loved. In his retirement, Chuckie found our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. "Brother Chuck" enjoyed going to Sunday school and learning about the Lord. He was preceded in death by his daughter; Lynn Jackson and one brother; Pete Carpenter. Chuck leaves to cherish his memory, his loving and devoted wife of 43 years, Yvonne Maxine Carpenter; four beautiful children, Lisa (Ted) Spencer, Denise (Darryl) Stevens, Colleen (Roy) Sims, and Robert Bronaugh Carter, one brother; Bernard Carpenter, one sister; Barbara Peterson, 20 grandchildren and an abundance of great and great-great-grandchildren who affectionately called him "PopPop" or "Granddad." His was a life well lived and will be missed by many other family members and friends.
