Former Shenandoah resident Charles B. Cherneski passed away on August 27, 2022 in Gulf Shore, Alabama.
He was born in Shenandoah on March 2, 1936 to the late Bernard Cherneski and Mary (Barney) Cherneski, a Lithuanian immigrant, along with two sisters, Delores and the late Rosemari Zaunder.
He was the son of a coal mining family, upon high school graduation, Charlie enlisted in the United State Navy at 17 years of age. After serving his country for three years and nine months and an honorable discharge, he enrolled at Williamsport Trade School (Penn College) in the Machinist Program.
Charlie would eventually settle in Manville, New Jersey, where he was hired by one of the world’s top Aerospace Engineering Companies, Lockheed Martin. His work ethic, and ability to communicate with fellow employees, led him to head the Union as a steward for 20 years, running unopposed, which he so fairly managed. His tactful ways never went unnoticed, and he later would move into a management position.
While being one of the lead-foreman at Lockheed, Charlie worked on top security projects throughout his illustrious career. After retirement, he returned to Shenandoah to tend to his late ailing mother, before moving to Gulf Shores in 2001 where he spent the remaining years of his life.

He left smiles wherever he went, and strangers were not strangers for long. His dear friends were friends for life and he would do anything for them. At 86 years of age, many have passed, but those that remain were there to the end, and no truer friends could there be.
A Celebration Of Life was held at the American Legion, Post #44 in Gulf Shores on September 9, 2022 and his local friends and nephews spoke to Charlie’s life. Taps was played by a skilled musician with a WWII bugle.
