Charles Stephen Valleau, passed away peacefully the morning of June 24th, 2021. He reunited today in heaven with his wife of 62 years, Patricia Valleau (April 4, 1940 -March 29, 2021). Born in the Bronx, New York, child to Sally Valleau, Charles was a proud veteran who remained dedicated to the forces through his VFW, Post 550 of Wainscott, NY, as a retired commander. Kind, compassionate, and loving, Charles worked with dedication and diligence to provide for his family and community. Charles had a huge heart, with enough space for every person and creature which he crossed on his journey. Charles' legacy will continue through the family he and Patrica made, their four children and their spouses, Lisa and Michael Zaharek, Gary Valleau Sr., Lynn Marie Valleau and James Lowney, and Lora and Tim Snell, cousins Darrell and Velma Mayfield, along with their six grandchildren, Brett Aley, Gary Valleau Jr., Casey, and Brian Christopher, Miranda Valleau, Christopher Valleau, Lily Marie Valleau-Lowney, and great-grandchild Donatella Aley. An outstanding father, grandfather, and person, Charles is now at peace with his beloved wife. He will be missed beyond words. If desired, in lieu of flowers, please consider donating a memorial contribution to your local VFW or animal shelter.
