ELTON Charles Lester

January 6, 1950-May 9, 2020 Sadly, Charlie left us early on May 9, 2020. We will miss his dry humour, wise counsel and astute leadership at the helm of Dodge City/royal Garage Ltd for almost 50 years. He was a keen hiker and enjoyed weekend treks along the East Coast Trail. As he often remarked, “On a fine day, there is no better place to be on this earth”. Charlie also enjoyed nurturing his annual tomato crop in his greenhouse. Latterly, he was fortunate to fit in many travel adventures around the world and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro during one of these outings. Charlie was down-to-earth, quietly generous, opinionated, and principled. His sons Sandy and Greg, and their mother Cathy survive him. While his parents Charlie and Margaret (O’brien) Elton and brother Brian predeceased him. He leaves memories with siblings Dorothy Elton (Walter) and David Elton (Cavelle) and well as nephew Michael Elton. Deepest gratitude to Cousin Margie O’brien Hand and Charlie’s brother David for dealing with logistics that enabled Charlie to stay in the comfort and calm of his home during his recent illness. Charlie preferred a quiet leaving with family and friends remembering his life, steadfastness, and courage.
