Charles E. Ruch

April 8, 1933 - April 20, 2022

Charles E. Ruch, 89 years of age passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 20, 2022 at Cornerstone Living In New Tripoli, Pennsylvania. Charles was born on the family farm off of Ward's Chapel Road, Owings Mills Maryland on April 8, 1933. He was the son of the late Paul and Louise (Brady) Ruch. Charles was preceded in death by his beloved wife Janet L. (Zahn) Ruch. He was also preceded in death by his brothers. Surviving children are Lee M. Ruch and his wife Roxanne, Jill M. Ruch, Tanya T. Beck, wife of Ray, and Kristen A. Hess, wife of Robert. Charles also has eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Charles worked for the Maryland State Highway Administration. After retiring from the state, he went on to work at Lion Brothers doing maintenance. Charles played many instruments by ear and in his early years was in a band known as the Hilltoppers. Charles enjoyed hunting, fishing, steam shows, and antiquing. Charles could repair just about anything! He was a fantastic father, family man, and Christian who will be greatly missed! Psalm 23:1-6 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Private arrangements entrusted to the E. Franklin Griffiths Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Inc. of 655 East Broad street Tamaqua, Pennsylvania 18252.
