Charles H. McCulley, 93
Charles H. McCulley, 93, of Grangeville, passed to the Lord on Wednesday, December 24, 2008.
Charlie was born November 26, 1915, on the Doumecq Plains of Idaho, the second son of Homer and Sarah (Marshall) McCulley.
Charlie's first marriage blessed him with three sons, Charles, Milton and Michael. SaVilla (Burau) Krebs and Charlie were married in 1960, bringing a fourth son, James to the family. Charlie was always independent and made his living through self-employment. In his early years he ranched at Doumecq and Deer Creek and spent a brief time in Rathdrum operating a drive-in. From 1965 through his retirement in 1985 he owned and operated Charlie's Mobil Service at Grangeville.
World War II took Charlie to the Philippines where he served in the Army Tank Corps. Charlie was very proud of his service to his country as one of the eleven McCulley Brothers, all members of the military in the WWII-Korea era. Charlie had many interests. He enjoyed fishing, reading and watching sports on television. He was a member of Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Elks Lodge.
Charlie is survived by his loving wife of forty-eight years, SaVilla, at their Grangeville home; his four sons, Chuck (Susan) of Grand Junction CO, Mike (Betty Ann) of Portland OR, Milt of Indiana, Jim of Homer AK; brothers Wilbur (Marjorie) of Nezperce, Alfred (Louella) of Grangeville, George (Sandy) of Vallejo CA, Tom of Seattle, Jay (Mary) of Yuma AZ; 20 grand-children and 2 great-grandchildren.
