Our beloved Charles Max Rosensweig passed away at the age of 86 on May 1st, 2024. He is survived by his wife of 63 years Marjorie (Guran), children Teri Brenits (Don), Gary and Daniel (Julie Jones), six grandchildren; Joshua Brenits, Sophie Brenits, Max Rosensweig, Caleigh Rosensweig, Aria (ne’ Sascha) Rosensweig and Nora Rosensweig and one great grandson Alijah. His surviving siblings are Ronald Rosensweig (Ruth), Hugh Rosensweig (Maureen), Sally Rosensweig and Madelon Dritz and his sister-in-law Cydney Yerushalmi. His memory is also cherished by many nieces and nephews who considered him a bonus parent. Preceding him in death were his parents Herman and Deanna.
He was the kindest man who ever lived. He made everyone with whom he ever came into contact– be it a family member, an acquaintance or simply a stranger at a checkout line – feel important. He lived to make sure others were taken care of and had what they needed. And he lived every day and cherished each moment as if it were his last. Whether “messing around” on his boat, enjoying an oversized corned beef sandwich (with “Schackner” of course), watching a family of ducks swim in a nestled creek of the Chesapeake Bay or finding just the right bear for a newborn granddaughter, he never took a moment in life for granted.
And he was funny. Generations of children grew up looking over their shoulder for the arrival of a finger sized “Doberman pinscher,” a microscopic “Feneebit” or a subtle “toooch.” He laughed at everyone’s jokes and never, ever took himself too seriously. He also never took seriously anyone else who took themselves too seriously.
Charlie graduated from Hamilton High School (Ohio) and the Ohio State University. He enjoyed a 50-year career with Standard Textile Company of Cincinnati.
A graveside funeral service will be held at Sunday, May 5th at 1pm at the Garden of Remembrance in Clarksburg Maryland. In lieu of flowers, his family requests donations to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville (cvillehabitat.org) or to the charity of your choice.
