Charles M. Stockinger

Unglaublicher Mann! On Saturday, November 15th, 2025, an incredible man was lost! Charles M. Stockinger of Johns Island, South Carolina, formerly of Hudson, Ohio, passed away peacefully with his children by his side! He was born on December 20th, 1941, to Rosalie Jane Welch and Fred Charles Stockinger. Charles or “Chuck” was a loving husband, father, grandfather, friend and respected business leader. He was married to his college sweetheart, Patricia Anne Kaiser for 54 wonderful years!

Together Pat and Chuck raised two children, Trish McCarthy (Steve) and Mark Stockinger (Karen). They provided a family life that was unsurpassed, full of love and devotion also including two wonderful grandchildren, Alexander Charles and Victoria Ann. Additionally, Chuck is survived by his sister Leslie Minardi of Toccoa, GA and his adorable basset hound, Schatzi.

A proud alumnus of Villanova University, Chuck graduated in 1964 with a degree in economics. He went on to establish a distinguished career in the industrial channel including various business leadership roles. As the principal of Thomas Associates, Inc. where he guided organizational success and left a legacy in the industrial trade association management business. His work reflected a commitment to excellence and purpose, which was respected by all.

Always the life of the party with his huge sense of humor and quick wit, Chuck was loyal at his core to his family and friends and worshiped the incredible relationships he forged until the day he died. An avid tennis player in his younger years, he turned his passion to shooting. Nothing made Chuck happier than grilling on a beautiful evening with his family and friends by his side with some music playing in the background.

Rest in Peace Chuck, you are greatly missed and the example of love, loyalty, leadership and generosity that you leave behind will be cherished and carried forever in our hearts!
