Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
There is more sad news today.
From Fred Mays ('60) of VA - 11/26/05:
Dear
Carol:
In case
you have not been made aware, I just read the morning paper and regret to
learn of the death of Charles "Charlie" Stanley Karmosky, Jr., Class of
1961. He was a very intelligent and kind guy and I enjoyed his
friendship for a period of time. I think everyone liked him. The Karmosky's lived behind us, on Buxton Avenue. We lived on Sycamore
Avenue. I had hoped he would attend his class reunion when they had their
40 year reunion; however, he did not. I was hoping to talk to him and
renew our association. Charlie's father was Executive Sports Editor of
the Daily Press and I recall that he won numerous awards in that
position. You may recall his younger brother Wayne ('65) died
several years ago.....now, that entire family is gone as his parents died
some years ago. Charlie is survived by his wife and two sons. Charlie
died on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2005...... |
Thank you so much, Fred. I really appreciate your bringing this to my attention.

Although I did not know Charles well, I graduated from NNHS in 65 with Wayne, so I have known the Karmosky family for a long time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Ron Smith | |

I did not know Charlie well, but we spoke in passing and I knew who he was. He and his family are in our prayers. As a NNHS Typhoon and a Vol. Fire Fighter. God Bless. Jerry | |

My condolences to the family. I knew the family well... my dad worked at DP, Inc. as well. I knew both Karmosky boys... Wayne better than Charlie. We worked together for a few years. | |
