Charles F. McKnight, 80, of Canonsburg passed away unexpectedly on Monday, December 22, 2014 in his home.
He was born on May 15, 1934 in Brownsville, a son of the late William F. and Sylvia G. Sethman McKnight.
He was a proud Veteran of the United States Army, serving from 1957-1963. He had been a resident of Canonsburg since 1969. Charles retired from McGraw Edison after 39 devoted years. He was a member of the American Legion in West Brownsville, the VFW Post 191 in Canonsburg, and the White Eagles in Canonsburg.
Charles enjoyed gardening, hunting, fishing, playing cards, and getting away to his camp in the mountains. He loved to make his friends and family laugh, fondly known by many as a practical joker.
On August 29, 1958 he married Ileen M. Dutton McKnight, who passed away on November 24, 2000.
