CHARLES ALBERT ENRIGHT (aka CHARLIE, CHUCK) Just past his 91st birthday, dad left us peacefully, Monday, September 5, 2016. Survived by, and always biggest fan of, Doris (Mank), his wife of 68 years. Best dad ever to daughter Debs (Jim Peluch) and son Jeff. Cherished Grandpa of his three grandchildren, Denais, Wesley and Anna. Uncle Chuck and Uncle Charlie to many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his father George (1942) and mother Lillian (Askin) (1967). Dad was predeceased by all 8 of his siblings; brother Frank (2003) and sisters Grace (1996), Mable (2004), Shirley (1992), Maisie (1998), Julie (2003), Marina (1996) and Erlene (2010). He was also predecesed by nephews Kerry and Allan. Dad was born September 1, 1925 in Toronto and raised in Cabbagetown in a house on Arnold Avenue. More the class-clown than the scholar, dad quit school at a young age to make money to help his mother and look after his sisters. Various jobs in his youth such as selling The Telegram on downtown street corners and programs at Maple Leaf Gardens made him very street wise and hone his selling skills for his career selling printing machinery for Sears Ltd. for over 25 years. Dad met mom at Ipperwash Beach in 1944 while mom was vacationing with her parents and sisters and dad was completing his basic training with the Canadian Armed Forces. After enlisting with the Algonquin Regiment, dad was sent overseas in late 1944 and helped liberate the Town of Wierden in the Netherlands, where to this day, they have a plaque of the Algonquin Regiment badge hanging in their City Hall, commemorating the liberation of the Dutch from the Nazis by these brave young men from Canada. After WWII ended in 1945, dad joined the Provost Corp to assist in restoring post-war order in Europe and he returned home in the summer of 1946, taking up his position again with Sears. Mom and dad were married August 28, 1948 in Kitchener. After living in various parts of Toronto, they later returned to Kitchener. On summer weekends and holidays during his working years, dad’s favourite place to be was at “The Lake” at the family cottage. Swimming with the kids, playing in baseball games, and father and son golf tournaments with the cottage neighbours were always more fun with dad’s participation and his sense of humour. Perhaps it was fitting that the man who loved to make everyone laugh took up residence at Parkwood Veterans Hospital in London on April 1, 2015. Heartfelt thanks go out to the many nurses, orderlies, staff and volunteers there who enhanced his life and genuinely cared for “Old Blue Eyes” during the past 17 months. Sincere appreciation is extended to Dr. Anna Pawelec-Brzychczy for her expertise, guidance and compassion. Visitation will be held on Friday, September 9, 2016 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick St., Kitchener, and again on Saturday, September 10, 2016 from 4:15 until 5:15 p.m. with a celebration of life at 5:30 p.m. in the chapel of the funeral home. A reception will follow after the service. In lieu of flowers (which he only planted when mom dragged him to the garden to do so), donations to The War Amps would be greatly appreciated.
