Charles R. Diehle of Ivyland, passed away surrounded by his loving family on Monday, July 18, 2016 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 65.

He was the beloved husband of Joyce A. Diehle for 44 years.  

Born in Lancaster, PA and raised in Richboro, PA, he was the son of the late Owen Diehle. Chuck attended and graduated from Council Rock High School in 1968, where he met his wife, Joyce. He continued his education at Bloomsburg University where he earned his degree in Mathematics in 1972. He worked in the automobile industry for 37 years and retired as a District Sales Manager for Chrysler Corporation in 2013 to spend time with his family. In his retirement, Chuck worked at the Manheim Auction happily driving cars to the auction block.

Chuck’s interests were many. He enjoyed golfing, gardening, cooking, traveling, going to the orchestra, watching the Phillies, and exploring new restaurants. But, most of all, he enjoyed spending time with family and friends. The newest love of his life was his grandson, Owen.

All who knew Chuck agree that he was kind, thoughtful, funny, generous, selfless, and loyal to his friends and family. He will be incredibly missed by all.

He is also survived by his mother, Carol Diehle; brother Doug Diehle and his wife Diane; his mother-in-law Dorothy Gill; brother-in-law Bruce Gill and his wife Diane.
