Charles "Charley" Haley, 65, of Clifford Township, PA, passed away on Saturday, August 10, 2024 at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA, surrounded by his loving family. He is survived by his wife, the former Melody A. Lowry, with whom he shared over 43 years of marriage, having wed on June 6, 1981.

Born in Philadelphia, PA, Charley was the son of the late Charles M. and Jayne Havenstrite Haley. A 1977 graduate of Lakeland High School, Charley pursued a dedicated 15 year career at Grumman Olson and retired from Procter & Gamble after 23 years of service.

Charley was a devoted family man, known for his unwavering commitment to his children and their activities, even when faced with challenging work hours. His love for his family was boundless, and he found immense joy in being a part of his grandchildren's lives, cherishing every moment spent with them. Whether it was attending their events or simply being present for their milestones, Charley's family was the center of his world, and his love and dedication will be forever remembered by those who were fortunate to be a part of his life.

His dedication extended beyond his family, as he was an exceptionally generous person. Charley first gave blood on August 2, 1993, and over the years, he donated a remarkable 8.375 gallons, saving the lives of 201 people. In his final act of generosity, Charley donated his liver, both kidneys, and both corneas, giving the gift of life and sight to others.

An avid photographer, Charley had a passion for capturing the beauty of the world around him, with waterfalls and family moments being his favorite subjects. He was also an active member of his community, serving as a Boy Scout leader, soccer coach, and track coach. Charley was a proud member of the Masons and an honorary Rotarian, where he found camaraderie and purpose.

Charley is survived by his son, Matthew Haley, and his wife, Eeva Koski, of Gatineau, Quebec, Canada; his two daughters, Elizabeth Pane and her husband, Jamie, of Endicott, NY, and Colleen Haley Lawton and her husband, Charlie, of Virginia Beach, VA; and three beloved grandchildren, Auli and Eero Haley, and Ella Pane. He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Thelma Lowry of Dundaff, PA, his brother-in-law, E. Roger Lowry, his sister-in-law, Ann Lowry, as well as many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and great-nephews.
