DR. GORDON W. CHARBONEAU, age 83, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 13, 2024.  He was born in Cleveland, OH on November 5, 1940 and was a 1959 graduate of John Adams High School in Cleveland.  He was a chiropractor in Old Brooklyn, OH from 1969 until his retirement in 2013.  He worked as a Cleveland fireman while attending college full time to become a chiropractor, yet still found time to be a terrific leader of a growing family.  He was later a volunteer fireman in Avon Lake, OH.  He was a passionate, though perennially unsuccessful, hunter.  His hunting trips were chiefly valued for the time spent with his family and friends in God's creation.  He loved to read and was always happy to share his books (and his book reviews) with other avid readers.  He was a passionate supporter of all veterans' causes and was proud to be a social member of the North Ridgeville VFW Post 9871.  He never met a person who did not think highly of him.  He was always quick to offer a genuine compliment to anyone he encountered and his kind spirit put everyone at ease in his presence.  He was happiest spending time with family.  He is survived by his loving wife, Carol Ann; children Douglas (Bambi), Lee (Tami) Eric (Katy), Chris (Amy), Michele Feather (Bill) and Scott (Mia); seven grandchildren; sister Renee Kamenski (Joseph);  brother Norman (LaVica); and his faithful dog, Arlo.  He was preceded in death by his parents, Dr. Norman W. Charboneau and Jean (nee Crane) Charboneau, and his sister Norma Jean Vyskocil (Daniel).  Memorial Service Saturday, August 17, at 4:00 P.M. in the CHAMBERS FUNERAL HOME of NORTH OLMSTED, 29150 LORAIN RD. AT STEARNS RD., where friends may call SATURDAY 1:00 P.M. UNTIL TIME OF SERVICE.  Private interment.
