Charles (Chuck) Wade Westmorland
WESTMORELAND MOUNT AIRY - Charles Wade Westmoreland, Jr., passed away late Sunday morning, February 14, 2010. He was born in Winston Salem on November 26, 1944 to Doris and Charles Wade Westmoreland. He was a graduate of Reynolds High School and High Point University and was the owner of Quick Flip, Inc. in Mount Airy. Chuck grew up attending Ardmore Methodist Church with his family. Chuck had many friends and loved spending time with his son, family members and golfing buddies. He was blessed with a compassionate heart and could always find the good in everyone he met. In return, he was loved by many. It was fitting that he passed away on the love holiday, Valentine's Day, following a long battle with heart disease. He believed in the grace of God and the everlasting hope of eternal life. We will all miss his infectious sense of humor, laughter and love. Chuck was preceded in death by his precious daughter Caroline Johnson Westmoreland in 1983 and his adoring parents, Doris and Charles Wade Westmoreland. He is survived by his beloved son, Adam Charles Westmoreland, daughter in law, Brooke Westmoreland and grandson Owen Adam Westmoreland all of Erie, Pennsylvania. In addition, he is survived by his sisters Diane Westmoreland Haynes of Johnson City, Tennessee, Elaine Westmoreland White and husband Joseph White of Winston Salem; niece, Shelton Haynes Shelton and husband Rick Shelton of Knoxville, Tennessee; Nephews, Olen Gale Haynes, Jr and wife Kristy Haynes of Johnson City and Wesley Robert Haynes of Johnson City; great-nephews, Olen Gale Haynes, III and Charles Lee Shelton; great-niece, Lily Anna Haynes. The family wishes to offer their gratitude to the excellent cardiology doctors and staff at The Baptist Hospital for their dedication care of Chuck. A memorial service will be held at 5:30 p.m. with a visitation to follow on Tuesday, February, 16, 2010, at Salem Funeral Home, 120 S. Main St., Winston-Salem. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to The American Heart Institute or Brenner Children's Hospital. Online condolences may be made through www.salemfh.com.
