Lafave, Charles

SIDNEY — Our beloved husband and father, Charles Lafave, 80 of Sidney, N.Y., passed away on Wednesday, May 11, 2022, at 5:15 p.m.

Born in Cohoes to Ellis and Yvonne Lafave, he graduated from Heatley High School and Hudson Valley Community College in Troy. After many years of traveling with Honeywell as a quality control analyst, he retired in Sidney in 2002. He enjoyed Thursday coffee gettogethers with his closest friends, Vic, Jim, Wayne and Jim, and once a week, he enjoyed going to the Community Lounge with his many friends there.

Chuck is survived by his wife of 50 years, Marge; and his sons, who were his pride and joy, William (Siobhan) Lafave of Troy and Joseph Lafave of Binghamton. He is also survived by his siblings, Sharon (John, deceased) Burns, Robert (Olga) Lafave, both of The Villages, Fla., and Lawrence (Mary) Lafave of Downingtown, Pa.; brotherin-law, Jerry Bissell of Cohoes, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his two sisters, Beverly Bissell and Marylin Berlyn; as well as his granddaughter, Zoe Katherine. Chuck will be dearly missed by all of his family, his friends and his cats.

We know you will rest in peace, Chuck.

The family would like to thank Helios for their care and beautiful flowers for Chuck’s 80th birthday.
