In Memory Of
Charles "Grump" Powers
1942 - 2018
Charles is survived by his children, daughter, Dawn Chmiel; son, Brice Powers; daughters, Charlsie Sharp (Phil), Meagan Hook, and Mandie Cowser (Jim); two brothers, Gene and Ted Powers; his best friend, and former wife, Sondra Powers; grandchildren, Raven, Riley, Guthrie, Zoe, Rider, Bo, Lola, Sophia, Stella, Charlie, Gabriel, and John Finn.
The nickname Grump comes from the name his grandchildren call him, and he was loved by all 12 of them. For them, it is like seeing one of your best friends go… because Grump never seemed like an old man who was somehow related to us, he was one of the kids. When he joked we laughed, when he talked we listened, and when he taught us lessons they stuck because they never seemed like lectures. This old Grump meant a lot to a lot of us… and he won’t be forgotten.
His memorial visitation will be held on Thursday, June 21st at Newcomer Cremations, Funerals, and Receptions East Chapel (235 Juneau Drive, Louisville, KY 40243) from 4pm-6pm.
In lieu of flowers the family would appreciate if you would donate to the American Lung Association on Charles’ behalf.
