Charles H. "Chuck" Gould

Charles H. "Chuck" Gould, age 87, of Sligo, PA, passed away Monday, July 12, 2021, at Clarview Nursing and Rehab Center.

He was born on July 13, 1933 in Manorville, PA, the son of Richard and Twila N. (Lukehart) Gould.

Chuck served for nine years as a member of the US Army and then served in the US Reserves for four years.

Chuck worked for the C&K Coal Company for 21 years and was a member of Sligo Presbyterian Church. His lifelong dream was to build a shanty in the woods and he was proud that he accomplished that dream after he retired.
