Charles M. Werner Sr.

Chick was a proud Veteran of the Marine Corps. He worked as an Engineer at Germanium Power Devices, later known as GPD Optoelectonics Corp., for over 40 years. He enjoyed fly fishing and hunting in Maine and Alaska with friends and family. Charles was fond of woodworking and passed on his passion for cars to his children.

Chick is survived by his beloved wife of 61 years, Suzanne G. (Smith) Werner; his loving children, Shelley Mendenhall of Groton, Adam Werner of Boxford, Mark Werner of Stow, and Suzanne Avery of Belchertown; his adored eleven grandchildren and two great grandchildren; his cherished siblings, Christian Werner of Portland, OR, Deborah Forbes of Rio Verde, AZ, and Joel Werner of Westminster, MA. Chick was pre-deceased by his son, Charles M. Werner Jr., his sister Pheobe Pevear and sister in-law Patricia (Smith) Berry.

The family wishes to thank all those who have inquired about services and wish that there could be a grand celebration of his life. Unfortunately, services will be held privately due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The family asks that everyone celebrate the amazing man you knew in spirit on Friday.
