CONDOLENCES TO THE BILLINGTON FAMILY

The father of fellow Rotarian, Charles (Chaz) Billington, III, Charles (Chuck) F. Billington, Jr., went home to be with the Lord on August 11, 2022.

Chuck was born on November 13, 1951, in Akron, Ohio to parents Sylvia Eileen and Charles Billington. Chuck was married (and singularly devoted) to Tamara (Poor) Billington until her passing in 2016.

Chuck is survived by his brother Dallas Billington, his three children, Chaz (Melissa), Kyle (Keri), and Josh, and his five grandchildren, Quinn, Juliana, Violet, Emersyn, and Charlie Billington.

Known to his friends and family as the Chuckster and his grandchildren as Papa, Chuck was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He lived a full life, full of friends, family, and the church. He was a legend to those who knew him, leaving an unmatched legacy of love, kindness, compassion, devotion, faith, and friendship. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten.

"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4.

Services took place at Billow's Funeral Home. Letters of condolence may be sent to the Rotary Camp and will be forwarded to the family.
