Charles L. Pyles, age 81, of Perryville, MD, passed away on Tuesday, February 11, 2014 at Laurelwood Care Center in Elkton, MD. He was born March 26, 1932 in Preston County, WV to the late Roy F. and Lillian Minear Pyles and was the youngest of seven children.

An avid sports fan, he was a faithful follower of the West Virginia University Mountaineers. Charles was a benevolent person and never hesitated to lend a helping hand to anyone who had fallen upon hard times.
