Charles Ray Bogle, 72, and known to all as Charlie, died peacefully on September 5, 2020. 

Charlie was born in Louisville, Kentucky on April 20, 1948, and graduated from Waggener High School in 1966. He attended Eastern Kentucky University, graduating in 1970 with a B.B.A. in Marketing. Charlie met his wife, Peg, while at Eastern Kentucky University, and they were married on May 21, 1971, giving them over 49 years of marriage. 

Charlie worked his whole career in business and marketing, including over 34 years with Raynor Garage Doors of Dixon, Illinois, until he retired in 2015. He was very active in many ministries at Newman Hall-Holy Spirit Catholic Parish in Berkeley for the last thirty years, including being the beloved leader of the Children’s Liturgy for seventeen years, a stalwart member of the building maintenance and grounds ‘fixer-up’ committee, and as a lector and Eucharistic Minister. He was also a faithful regular for many years with Night on the Streets - Catholic Worker, helping to feed and shelter the homeless in Berkeley.

Charlie is survived by his wife, Peg, his children, Mark and Clare, his sister, Annette Andrew, and his brothers Phil Bogle and Ron Bogle, as well as many nieces and nephews, other relatives, and dear friends.
