Summary

Charles William “Charlie” Creasser died unexpectedly on December 22, 2018. The Beaver Island Community Center’s obituary relay describes his island home and workshop, woodworking, and long-standing support for the Community Center and other island causes.

Evidence limits

This is a Community Center-posted obituary relay. It supports the reported death and island connections, but the funeral-home obituary should control complete biographical details and the memorial fund’s later activity.

Sources

  1. The Community Center reproduced an obituary reporting Charles William Creasser’s December 22 death and describing his Beaver Island home and workshop, woodworking, service, and support for the Community Center. It announced no visitation or services and directed donations to a memorial fund at the Center. The forum preserves an obituary relay; the funeral-home record is the stronger source for complete biographical details.

  2. The Center’s initial community notice reported Creasser’s sudden death, described his craftsmanship and generosity to PABI and the Community Center, and said memorial plans were not yet known. Replies preserve community testimony, not an independent biography or service record.
