Charles Patterson Pfahl

He was the beloved husband of 35 years to Barbara Ann Pfahl, who preceded him in death in 2013. Following Barbara's passing, he found love again and was the devoted fiancé of 11 years to Lucy Alexander.

He was a loving father to Charles Scott Pfahl (Patty) and Cheryl Lohbeck (Robert) of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and a stepfather to Kurt, Mark, and Joseph Kalina. He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren—Michael, Christy, Rick, Amanda, Kelly, Kurt, Kristen, Mark, Matt, and Angela—as well as his great-grandchildren: Jack, William, Ava, Eli, Madison, Naomi, Bennett, Adeline, and Maddox.

Chuck proudly served in the U.S. Air Force as a communications specialist in Panama during the Korean Cold War era. There, he specialized in deciphering cryptic codes. Following his military service, he dedicated 20 years to protecting his community as a police officer and co-owned Exterior Services of Ohio, a concrete restoration firm, alongside his late wife, Barbara, for 25 years before retiring to Florida.

A graveside service will be held at All Saints Cemetery: 480 West Highland Rd. Northfield, OH 44067 on Saturday, September 26th at 11AM. Air Force color guard will be present.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial donations be made to AccentCare Hospice of Tampa, your local veterans’ services charity, or local hospice organization in honor of Chuck Pfahl’s life and legacy.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude for the love, support, and prayers during this difficult time.

“Those we love never truly leave us; they live on in the memories we hold, dear.”
