Charles Cleveland
Charles "Charlie" Cleveland, 73, of Jonesville, passed away Saturday, May 23, 2009, surrounded by his loving family at Albany Medical Center following an injury sustained from a fall. Born March 7, 1936 in Cambridge, NY he was the son of the late Ernest and Alice Cleveland. He graduated from Salem Central School in 1954. He was married to his loving wife of 50 years, Maureen (Sheridan) and resided in Jonesville for the last 42 years. He served in the U.S. Navy for 20 years. During this time, he served as a crew member aboard the submarine Triton USSN586, which circumnavigated the world in Magellan's path. He also served on an aircraft carrier, destroyer tender and several other submarines. He was an active member of the Albany-Saratoga Submarine Vets and was very proud to have served in the U.S. Navy. After Charlie retired from the U.S. Navy he continued to work as an electrician for many years with Valley Equipment in Schenectady. Charlie was awarded a certificate as Mr. Fix-it from his neighbors and continued to be the one to call on if something needed repair. Charlie could usually be found out at "The Barn" tinkering with his latest project. His children and grandchildren also called on Papa to help with their fix-it needs. He was predeceased by his brother, Howard Cleveland. In addition to his wife, survivors include his children, Kevin and his wife, Samantha of Rotterdam Jct., Cynthia Cleveland and James McAuliffe of Clifton Park, Christopher and his wife, Marlena of Waterford, Jeffrey of Salem, Kathryn South and her husband, Bud of Ballston Spa; 14 grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; a brother, James Cleveland of Plattsburgh; and many nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held 10 a.m. Thursday, at Armer Funeral Home, Inc., 39 East High Street, Ballston Spa, NY. Burial will follow at Evergreen Cemetery, Salem, NY. Family and friends are invited to call Wednesday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the funeral home. Memorial donations may be made to the Jonesville Volunteer Fire Company, 953 Main Street, Clifton Park, NY 12065. The family would like to thank the staff at the SICU at Albany Medical Center for the care and support provided by the doctors and nurses to our family over the last several days.
