Joseph Robert Char of Clayton on Sunday, November 20, 2022. Age 80 Husband of 61 years to Jean Lois Char (nee Kunze). Father of Deborah Jean Savage (Glenn) of Malaga and Denise Ellen Ewing (Scott) of Clinton, IN. Grandfather of 3, and Great-grandfather of 9. Brother of Judith Metzger (Kenneth) of Clayton and the late Catherine Metzger (late Gerald). Brother-in-law of Robert Kunze (Edna). Uncle to many nieces and nephews. Son of the late Joseph John & Elizabeth M. (nee Smith) Char.
Born in Woodbury and raised in Franklinville, Joseph has been a resident of Clayton for the past 61 years. He initially attended Clayton High School and later graduated from Delsea Regional High School in 1961 after the split of Franklin and Elk from Clayton. Joseph worked as an electrician all of his life beginning at New York Ship in Camden and later for the Philadelphia Naval Yard. When the civilian jobs at the navy yard ended, he worked for Del Monte in Swedesboro for 25 years until their closure and then for Godwin Pumps, also in Swedesboro, until his retirement in 2004.
Joseph enjoyed working on computers and often helped others with their computer problems. He liked to work outside, especially in his garden, and loved to travel. Joseph and Jean took their trailer from Maine to Florida and out west to places like Yellowstone in Wyoming.
Arrangements under the direction of the BARCLAY FUNERAL HOME. Services will be held at a later time. Sign the guestbook at BarclayFuneralHome.net.
