Charles F. Crowley, 59, of Trenton and Weymouth Mass., died suddenly and unexpectedly from an apparent heart attack.
Charlie was born in Boston and grew up in Weymouth as one of six boys. He attended Weymouth North High school, the Class of 1977, and was an outstanding athlete who led both the football and basketball teams. He had height, speed, strength and skill. He graduated from UMass-Amherst, entered a management program at a large bank but realized corporate life was not for him, and then began work at the Bar Harbor Golf Course. He became the general manager and course superintendent, working there for 35 years. He was well known throughout the Trenton-Ellsworth area as well as the Maine golf community.
Charlie worked hard, played hard and wasn’t the easiest boss, but the members, customers and employees liked and respected him. To say he will be missed would be a colossal understatement. He had many special friends there. He was easy to be around (usually), had a quiet generous side, and was beloved by everyone who got to know him. He had a great way with kids and was always the most popular uncle at the family Christmas party. He loved dogs and there was always one or more riding around the golf course with him, from King to Oscar and Felix.
In recent years, Charlie’s life changed. He had a bitter battle with throat cancer that almost cost him his life and took two years to recover from. After that he found great happiness with Ann Scribner, his loving partner to whom we are very grateful.
Charlie was predeceased by his father, Paul Crowley Sr. He leaves his mother, Amelia, of Weymouth; his brother Paul and wife, Delia, and daughter Cara of Falmouth, his brother Ronald and son Timothy and daughter Jacquelin of Delaware, his brother Richard and daughter Cindy and son Douglas of Weymouth; his brother Lawrence and wife, Jeanne, and daughters Amanda and Lindsey of Weymouth; his brother Thomas and wife Judy and daughters Rachel, Katie and Nicole of Southborough; and Ann Scribner of Trenton.
A wake will be held Friday, July 20, 2018, from 4 to 8 at McDonald-Keohane Funeral Home on Sea Street in North Weymouth, Mass., with a funeral mass on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at Immaculate Conception Church in Weymouth. A burial will follow at Blue Hill Cemetery in Braintree.
Our friends from the Ellsworth area are very welcome to attend, but given the distance and expense involved, we will also hold a memorial service in Ellsworth in August or September to be announced within a few weeks.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Dana Farber Cancer Institute, 10 Brookline Place, West 6th Floor, Brookline, MA 02445 would be greatly appreciated.
