GREENVILLE, Pa. — Charles Lee McGill Sr., age 80, of Kinsman, Ohio, died on Monday, Nov. 16, 2009, at Greenville, UPMC Hospital.
He was born on March 11, 1929, in Hubbard, Ohio, the son of Mary Virginia (Marshall) McGill and Orland Edward McGill. A member of the 1947 Kinsman High School Class, Charlie served in the United States Army, during the Korean Conflict.

He was a member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church, where he was the first altar server and helped with the construction of the current church building. Charlie was a member of the Harry Lees American Legion Post No. 506 of Kinsman and a member of the National Precast Association.
A believer in giving people a second chance in life, Charlie was a very generous person. He supported the local charities and was there to lend a helping hand for whoever 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 people’s lives.
Charlie was known to take in stray dogs and had numerous dogs around him from a young age. He enjoyed going to flee markets, gardening, spending time on his bulldozer and fishing.
On April 11, 1954, he married Patricia Ann Knepper. She precedes him in death along with his parents; a grandson, Kevin James McGill; and three brothers, Joseph McGill, Orland (Ed) McGill and Frank McGill.
