Charles M. Zuckerman
Our Father, Charles Zuckerman, 96, left this world on December 25 to reunite with his Bride of nearly 73 years, Virginia. Dad never met a stranger and lived his life to serve others and spread joy wherever he went. He had a twinkle in his eye and a quick wit to the very end. As a true gentleman and selfless individual, raised by Russian immigrants who settled in Winchester, he touched more lives than even he realized.
After graduating from John Handley High School in 1942, Charles served in the US Army Air Corps from 1943 to 1946. He and his four brothers survived WWII and returned home to assist their father in his scrap business.
