Charles Brookins Wood (79), loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend passed away Sunday, November 11, 2018.
He was born April 14, 1939 to Edward Wood and Kathryn Farry Wood. He was raised in Asbury Park, NJ with his sisters Mary Ellen and Kathleen. He attended Asbury Park High School where he was active in sports and graduated in 1957.
He met his sweetheart Rosalind Radford at the Jersey shore and they were soon married at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Asbury Park, NJ on March 30, 1958. They celebrated 60 years of marriage this year. Blessed with 3 children. Deborah, Chuck Jr., and Darren, they lived the early years in Shark River Hills, NJ. Spent their summers at the shore at Ocean Grove, NJ and vacationed in Maine and throughout the East Coast.
In January 1975 Chuck and Roz moved their family to Logan, UT. He was a master floor covering contractor and started Cache Country Carpets and later HartWood Floors. He saw much success and was highly respected throughout the floor covering industry.
Chuck was a passionate sportsman and enjoyed hunting, fishing, gun collecting, reloading and competitive shooting where he won many awards. He was a respected and admired Hunter Education instructor for many years and made many long-lasting friendships.
He and Roz are lifelong members of the Catholic Church where they have served in many capacities throughout the years. They were also avid golfers and loved spending time at their vacation homes at Bear lake and Kona, Hawaii.
He could brighten up any room with his charm, quick wit, personality, and always had a new joke to tell… and oh boy could he tell a good joke.
He will be dearly missed by his adoring wife and family.
Chuck leaves behind his loving wife Rosalind, children Deborah (Matt), Chuck Jr (Jana) and Darren (Lori). 9 Grandchildren, 12 Great grandchildren and his sisters, Mary Ellen (Vinnie) and Kathleen (Tom) and many nieces and nephews.
