COLUMBUS -- Charles J. "Chuck" Young, 81, passed away peacefully, Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2023, surrounded by those who cared for and loved him.

He was born in Youngstown, the son of Gerald John Young and Laura Julian Young, who preceded him in death.

He was a man of many skills and talents. As a licensed barber, he formerly operated Warren Plaza Barber Shop.

He also spent 34 loyal years at Delphi Packard Electric in plant security, as chief of fire and security, as a supervisor in the Safety Department, as a safety supervisor with Delphi Gadsden, Alabama, and retired from Delphi Automotive, Lockport (Buffalo), New York.

Many thanks to the angels from Interim Hospice and Home Health Care, for the warm and wonderful care they provided to him.
