1932 – 2022

Charlie, born in Kingston, Ontario, grew up in Camden East, Ontario, running free with his friends and co-conspirators, finding adventures and taking risks. Charley relived those adventures, all his life, through the stories he shared.

Charlie married his life-long partner, Jean Hanaghan (nee Richmond), December 27, 1952, and died shortly after their 69th anniversary.

Charlie is survived by his wife Jean, and his sons, Bob (Charolette) Hanaghan, Jeff (Trudy) Hanaghan, and daughter Claire Hanaghan.
He is survived by his grandchildren, Shelly (Jeff) Peterson, Brent (Kassandra) Hanaghan, Caleb (Chelsea) Hanaghan, Carla (Shawn) Karst, Tanya (Leighton) Garfield, Claye Hanaghan, and Maci Dyck, as well as great grandchildren; Sydney, Hayley, Taylor, Cale, Charli, Emery,
Farron, Lev, Fen.

Charlie was predeceased by his son, Stephen Hanaghan and his grandson Jesse Hanaghan.

Dad loved to travel and with mom, and they saw so much of North America, from the southern U.S. border, to the Arctic Circle and from
west coast to east, many times.  Charlie and Jean enjoyed many travel adventures with friends and family through the years, sharing lots of laughter, and creating their shared lifelong memories.

Charlie and Jean settled in Kamloops in 1968, after moving west to BC in 1964 to Taylor, BC, to work on the Alaska Highway and then pipeline jobs.  Charlie was a 50 year member of the I.U.O.E. (International Union of Operating Engineers) and spent much of his career working pipeline jobs across Canada.

Charlie loved children and dogs most of all, oh, and cars! And he found happiness with each of these loves.

Charlie lived in his own home until the end of his life, and in his 90th year, was a proud and licensed driver.  Charlie’s independence
was very important to him and we are all thankful he spent his final years in his own home.

Charlie’s family and friends will miss his big smile, his stories, his love for cars, and his feistiness.

Condolences may be sent to the family at Kamloops Funeral Home.
