My Dear Brother Chas, so lost for words, you deserve to Rest In Peace. I will Cherish all our memories good or bad until we meet again. Loving You Forever
You are Tia5, the first to go of 14 siblings, Hug Mom and Dad and watch over all of us. Thanks for always having my back ❤️
Chuck, you were one of a kind. You made me laugh a lot and always helped people out when you could. You gave me my best friend and were an amazing father to her and grandpa to her children. I respected you and Linda so much and that’s why I had to have you guys at my wedding. You will be missed dearly!
Dear Linda,
I’m so very sorry for the loss your family is experiencing now. Charlie is a good man and was always so fun when we were growing up. At one point I had such a crush on him but of course, I was just the annoying little neighbor kid! Hahaha! He always just had eyes for you! All my love and my prayers for you and your family. If there is anything you need, just let our family know. Sandy knows how to reach us! Love always!
Charlie, Chas, you will truly be missed by me and so many people you’ve touched and helped for so many years. I remember you letting me drive your car when I was maybe 15 all the time. And all the memories from the corner store and Christy park. May Your Memory Be Eternal my friend! RIP Charlie!❤
Condolences to the Mantia family. Losing a brother (or sister) is very hard. Remember all the good times, the laughter, and the family fun. I will remember Charlie as a kind adult, who made sure to say hello to me at the OLS school picnics. Prayers for all.
Dad im going to miss everything about you i could never put in to words how much i love you and looked up to you this is the hardest thing i have ever delt with in my life you were alway there for me in my good times and bad i know you will still stand beside me i just wont be able to see you
I LOVE YOU POP
You had that Mantia youth glow. So young. Your loving parents are seeing you too soon but the beautiful family bonds that they gave you and you gave to your family–will continue forever.
Rest in peace. Prayers and condolences to the entire family.
“Cousin” Mary (Sliger)
You have earned your wings. Fly high and free. Your family will never forget your smile and kindness.
Rest In Peace Charlie
Had a lot of great memories at
Angelia’s and then years later

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and many friends. If Wayne (Bud) Granda was here I know he would want you to know you are all in his thoughts.
Charlie, one of a kind. Rest in peace Brother. First Mantia I worked with. A truly unforgettable character!
One of the 14 great cousins that came down to my store to give me and Donna the confidence that you needed. To laugh and joke around was Charlie’s special talent. Say hi to my brother Frank and my mother and father Frank and Dolores who loved your mom and dad Mike and Jackie.
Dear Linda and family my heart is breaking for all of you. Growing up with Charlie was always interesting.
We use to sit on my moms front steps and just for a long time. He tried so hard to teach me how to whistle. Never accomplished that.
Charlie rest in peace my friend.
Condolences, in lieu of flowers a donation to the American Heart Association has been made. As an old friend of the Mantias it is with a heavy heart that I have written this.

Many thoughts, prayers and love. So very sorry for your loss
My brother, I love you and will miss you! I have many good memories to keep in my heart! So long for now!
When we first started listening to the Dr. about how sick you were, I told you then, I was not ready for you to leave. Now that you have been gone, I am still not ready for you to be gone. You are going to have to help me understand and get through this. I have loved you for more than half my life and will continue until the day we are together again. Know that I have your back now, as I always have. There is no one that could ever hold a candle to you.
