- We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Charles “Chuck” Henry Argy, Jr. on Wednesday, October 5, 2022 in Wimauma, Florida with his family by his side. His battle with B-Cell Lymphoma this year showed his courage in facing life challenges with a positive attitude. He will be sadly missed and will always hold a place in our hearts.
Chuck was born January 6, 1940, in Niagara Falls, NY. He graduated from Bishop Duffy High School, Niagara Falls, in 1957 and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Detroit in 1962. Chuck married Rebecca “Becky” Phillips, the love of his life, on November 30, 1963 in Niagara Falls, NY.
He began his 40-year career with Western Electric/AT&T Technologies/Lucent in Buffalo, NY in 1961. The family moved to Greensboro, NC in 1969 and then to Lilburn, GA in 1973. One of his most enjoyable assignments was living in Santiago, Chile overseeing the building of their mobile networks. Chuck retired in 2001 and remained in Lawrenceville, GA until moving to Wimauma, FL in 2016.
In his younger years he enjoyed bowling, camping, and supporting the various Atlanta hockey teams. After retirement he loved attending his grandson’s sporting events and traveling throughout the United States, South America, Europe, and the Mediterranean. One of his favorite things was relaxing at the beach and we have many fond memories of him at our annual beach trip with family and friends.
Chuck was preceded in death by his son Robert Charles Argy; his brother Alan Thomas Argy; his parents Charles Henry Argy, Sr. and Helen Stivers Argy. He is survived by his wife of 59 years Rebecca Phillips Argy; son Michael Argy (Saul Reyes) of Dallas, TX; daughter Renee Argy Sullivan (Shawn) of Sandy Springs, GA; Grandchildren Patrick, Ryan, and Liam Sullivan; many loving brothers and sisters in-laws; numerous nieces and nephews.
Per his request there will be no services. We will be having a celebration of his life this summer at our annual family beach vacation. If desired, memorial donations in Chuck’s memory can be made to Moffitt Cancer Center Foundation PO Box 23827 Tampa, FL 33623-3827.
