Charles Lee Loving, Sr. (83) of Cecilton, MD passed away on June 10, 2022. Born on April 12, 1939 in Birch River, WV, he was the son of the late Fredrick and Icie (nee, Tingler) Loving and the devoted husband of 62 years to the late Geraldine Lee Loving.
Charles was the Owner and Operator of Loving’s Mower Service, a Lawn and Garden Center in North East, MD for over 55 years. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed deer hunting, fishing, and camping in the mountains. To take the family camping, he converted a retired School Bus into a custom RV. Wherever this RV went, it drew a lot of attention and requests from other campers for guided tours. Although he never had a lesson, Charles was a talented Blue Grass guitar player. His family fondly remembers Charles as a great-story-teller, especially around the campfire. Charles was both a member and Past Master of Harmony Masonic Lodge 53. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
In addition to his wife and parents, Charles is preceded in death by his three brothers: Samuel Loving, David Loving and Daniel Loving.
Charles is survived by his 3 daughters: Naomi Poukish, Laura Rosado, Joanna Eastridge; 2 sons: Charles Loving, Jr., Walter Loving; 2 sisters: Linda Phelps, Mary Lou Sparrows; 9 Grandchildren and 10 Great-Grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Friday, June 17, 2022 at 12:00pm at R. T. Foard Funeral Home – 259 East Main Street, Elkton, MD. The family will begin receiving friends at 11:00am. To leave online condolences for the family, go to www.rtfoard.com. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions can be made to The American Diabetes Association – www.diabetes.org.

Naomi , I was saddened to hear of the passing of your father. I know it has only been a short time since you lost your mom. We were out of town on vacation so I could not attend the service. I wanted to let you know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I was very fond of your mom and dad and remember great moments at your house growing up. They are once again reunited.

To Charlies Family, Just last week I thought, I hadn't called Charlie in a while, But got busy, now I feel bad. Charlie and Geri were great parents and good friends with me and my late husband Cliff (for over 60 years) They would talk about hunting and fishing while fixing mowers. My daughter Cindy would tell me, when he drove the Church Bus taking the MYF or other times they all looked forward to it, because he was a lot of fun and hit all the bumps and tell stories. God Bless All of You and because I watched you grow up, drop me an email about your families.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Dear loving family : it is with deep sadness that I have learned of Charlie’s passing. I had a long conversation with him a couple of weeks ago about a Class of 57 reunion. He and I talked at lengthy about a reunion. He also spoke of losing Gerry. High school sweethearts, wow We all. Go back a long ways. but Charlie’s was always the same. He took care of our mowers,etc.for many years. I’ m so glad we got to talk and laugh about days past. Please know we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Marilyn Hammond Spence

A favorite quote: meaning of family : Family means having someone to love you unconditionally in spite of u and your short-comings.. Family is loving and supportive of one another even when hard to do so..it's being the best person you can be so that you may inspire your loved ones.. family doesn't see race, color,creed, or culture...it see s the heart.. you kids, already know this I'm sure, we re truly blessed having two great parents for a great part of your lives.. some of my favorite memories were with my uncle Charles and aunt Gerry...at their house for holidays, cookout s, and w.v..it breaks my heart that I won't have the chance to do our 'date' for a lil get away with him and hopefully one or more of his kids this summer..may u all have the wisdom, strength, and loving hearts to keep the legacy of your parents from the evils of this world and keep ur family unit strong....I know ur hearts are heavy and I hope you know we're here for you if needed and we love you all..I'm so glad to know I will see him and the rest of our family in heaven again one day..

My Dear Uncle Charles, always telling us jokes trying to bend our minds or make us laugh. He was a great Uncle who was always nice to us and I really loved hearing his stories. Full of advice, humor and ever coaching us up. He was a unique Man, a loving man to our Aunt Jerry whom we all adored. I am greedy for wanting more time with him but Super Happy he is Re United with the True Love of his Life. We will miss you dearly, a much Love and Respect.

God Bless You, Charlie...................Gerry and Family: We loved Charlie because he cared about the people he served in the business, and was a lovely person to know. Many people pass away and are not rememberd...However, Charlie is not only rememnered, but the mention of his name brings a smail to those who knew him.
Bless you all,
