In his 90th year, Charles (Chuck) George Swatridge passed away peacefully on October 2, 2020 at Alexandra Hospital, Ingersoll.

A long-time resident of Ingersoll, Chuck will be deeply missed by his partner Linda, and his children Terry Lenhardt (Larry), Cindy Thayer (Chuck), David, and his daughter-in-law Donna.

Chuck happily retired as General Manager from Ingersoll Fasteners, formerly Morrow Screw & Nut, where he was employed for 45 years. He then continued putting his experience to use working at, and growing his son's business, Delta Machine and Design.

As an Elder of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, he freely gave many hours of service in support of their ministry.

As a founding and lifelong member of the Ingersoll Curling Club, Chuck represented the club at numerous regional events. Winning the Ontario Seniors was the highlight of his curling career. He loved to call the game even when he wasn't on the ice.

He was a 60+ year member of the King Hiram 37 and Oxford-Harris Chapter No 18, Royal Arch Masons.

He loved nothing more than lending a helping hand in any building project, including decks and docks at which he was the "master". He also enjoyed golfing, camping, was a Scout Master for many years and had a passion for all things automobile.
