Notes:

Charles Lewis Bolinger, 84, of Columbia City, fell asleep in death on Sunday, June 17, 2018.

Born in South Whitley, he was a loving, attentive husband, and a beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

He is survived by his loving wife of 62 happy years, Beverly Jean (Koontz).

Chuck regularly volunteered time teaching others about the loving Creator, Jehovah God and the wonderful hope for the future in the Bible. He also worked with many Kingdom Hall building projects.

He was employed for 30 years as body shop manager at Thomson Chevrolet, Columbia City. He then worked 17 years as an estimator for State Farm Insurance, Fort Wayne.

Chuck and Beverly enjoyed many years of travel together and looked forward to annual trips to the Rocky Mountains or oceanside vacations with family and friends. They especially treasured being international delegates at Bible-based conventions in Europe and Russia.

Surviving are two daughters, Shelly (Eric) Dellinger of Fort Wayne, Debbie Longenecker of Kapa'a, Hawaii; five grandchildren, David P. Smith II, Brian (Jamie) Longenecker, Lyndsey (Chuck) Springer, Brandon Longenecker, Addison (Vicky) Dellinger; five great-grandchildren, Emily and Norah Longenecker, Evan, Henry and Elliott Springer. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews, many dear friends and a large spiritual family. Four-legged family includes his beloved dog, Molly B. and cat, Sam. He was preceded in death by his parents Irvin and Bessie (Miller) Bolinger; a daughter, Rebekah (David) Smith; two sisters, Kathryn (Lloyd) Montz, Mary (Harold) Hiers; two brothers, Robert Bolinger, Don (Ruth) Bolinger.
