Charles Masur
September 10, 1926 — March 29, 2013
Charles "Charlie" Robert Masur died peacefully at hisMountain home on Casper Mountain, Friday, March 29, 2013 after a short bout with lung cancer. He was born to Charles and Elizabeth Masur on Sept. 10, 1926 in Pittsburgh, PA. He graduated from North Catholic HS in 1944 and immediately joined the Army Air Corps during the end of WWII. After his return from war he attended Duquesne University in Pgh. He worked for Goodyear, US Rubber and retired from Rexnord Conveyor Systems in 1996, finishing his career as an airport material handling specialist.
He married Carol (Amon) Masur, Sept. 4, 1948 and moved his wife and daughter to Youngstown, Ohio. He was very involved with St. Edward Parish until 1967 when another job opportunity took him, his wife, daughter and 2 adopted sons to Barrington, IL, a suburb of Chicago. It was there they gave service to St. Anne's Parish. His wife Carol retired from Gallagher Insurance in 1995 and he retired soon after. Their youngest son, Matthew W. Masur died suddenly in 1995 and they mourned his loss deeply.
Charlie and Carol celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1998 with a huge gathering of family and friends. Carol passed away in 2001. Charlie moved to Casper in 2003 to be near his daughter. They went on the May, 2011 Honor Flight to see the WWII monument, a trip both of them thoroughly enjoyed.
Everyone who knew him always said he was "so sharp" even in his last days. He never said no to any favor that was asked and he could solve almost any problem with a clever fix. And he never complained about his illness. He married Ruth Burrow and remained good friends with her until the end.
He and his three sisters all achieved 50+ years of marriage to their spouses, 213 years total.
He is survived by his daughter Patti (Chuck) Nelson, Casper, WY, son John (recently deceased Edie)Masur, Plainfield, IA, grandsons, Daniel Burns, Schaumburg, IL, Ryan Burns, Bartlett, IL, Andrew Stebbins, USN, Cary, IL, grand-daughter Katie Morris, Coal Valley, IL daughter-in-law Sue (Terry) Gibbons, Cary, IL, and his youngest sister, Mimi (Marian) Zerishnek, Coral Gables, FL. He is also survived by his only great grand-daughter, Lily Burns, Bartlett, who called him "great pap-pap". He leaves numerous nephews and nieces in PA, OH and FL.
His family wishes to thank WY Family Practice, WY Med Ctr, Rocky Mtn Oncology, Poplar Living Ctr and Amedysis Home Care for exceptional service. In lieu of flowers please send donations to Amedysis Home and Hospice Care, 209 N Poplar, Suite 153, Casper, WY 82601.
