Charles ‘Charlie’ Lee McGill Sr.

Company founder active in church lived in Kinsman

GREENVILLE — Charles “Charlie” Lee McGill Sr. of Kinsman died at 9:55 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16, 2009, in UPMC Horizon, Greenville. He was 80.

Mr. McGill was born March 11, 1929, in Hubbard, a son of Orland Edward and Mary Virginia Marshall McGill. A member of the former Kinsman High School, class of 1947, Charlie served in the Army during the Korean conflict.

In 1958, Charlie started the McGill Septic Tank Co. and was currently serving as the company’s president.

He was a member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Kinsman, where he was the first altar server and helped with the construction of the current church building. Charlie also belonged to American Legion Harry Lees Post 506, Kinsman, and the National Precast Association.

A believer in giving people a second chance in life, Charlie was a very generous person. He supported local charities and was there to lend a helping hand for whomever and whenever it was needed.

Charlie had a great ability to tell stories and put smiles on faces, even if you were feeling down and out. He often was seen by others as a father figure and made a difference in many lives. He was known to take in stray dogs and had numerous dogs around him from a young age. He enjoyed going to flea markets, gardening, spending time on his bulldozer and fishing.

On April 11, 1954, he married Patricia Ann Knepper. She preceded him in death along with his parents; a grandson, Kevin James McGill; and three brothers, Joseph McGill, Orland “Ed” McGill and Frank McGill.

Survivors include: two daughters, Barbara A. and her husband Bib McElhinny; and M. Christine McGill, all Kinsman; two sons, Charles L. McGill Jr., Kinsman; and James R. McGill, Jamestown; four grandchildren, Jessica and Michael McElhinny, James McElhinny Jr. and Adam McGill; two brothers, John M. McGill, Warren, Ohio; and Roy J. McGill and his wife Mary, Kinsman; his longtime companion, Kathy Flowers; and many friends and neighbors.

Memorial contributions may be made to American Legion Post 506, Box 288, Kinsman, OH 44428.
