Charles L. Kauffman, 76, of Pine Grove and formerly of Bethel, went home to his Lord and Savior on Thursday, Sept. 15, 2022, in his residence.
He was the husband of Eileen Farrell Kauffman, with whom he shared 55 years of marriage.
Born Dec. 7, 1945, he was a son of the late Herbert Bare and Anna Kauffman Strunk.
Charlie received his GED in 1965 and was employed at Post Precision Casting in Strausstown for 33 years. He served as a supervisor in the finishing and shipping departments and retired in January 2011.
In his free time, Charlie enjoyed watching the Phillies, and in 2010, he had the privilege of going to Philadelphia to see a playoff game with his son, Matthew, being in the Honor Guard before the game. Charlie loved cars; buying, racing and washing them was a favorite pastime.
He was preceded in death by his son, Michael Kauffman; brother, Ralph Bare; and sisters, Ruth Getz, Marie Wilson, Sallie Leask and Susan Rittle.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son, Matthew; and grandchildren, Austen, Alexis, Spencer, Caleb and David Kauffman.

Interment will be in Little Swatara Church Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Advantage Hospice, 1502 Route 61 Highway South, Pottsville, PA 17901.
