Charles "Charlie" Joseph Plaia

Charles (Charlie) Joseph Plaia passed away peacefully Tuesday, April 14, 2020 at the age of 91. He was the devoted husband of Joy Plaia for 65 years and the loving father of Greg Plaia (Gretchen) and Jay Plaia (Judy). He was the proud grandfather of Dawn Molski and Christina Plaia. He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank Plaia and Camille Salisbury, and his brother, Frank Plaia, Jr. In 1950 Charlie co-founded Jet TV Service which later became Dixie Jet Electronics & Appliances. He was a longtime member of Chateau Country Club and avid golfer into his 80’s until health issues forced him to stop. Other than his family and golf, his other love was fishing and he often went down to Cocodrie to relax and spend time fishing with family and friends. He loved to talk and tell stories of his life’s experiences and people he met along the way. No family meal was complete until the ice cream was brought out! Charlie was loved by many and will be missed by all who knew him. Due to current health concerns, a private service will be held. The family would like to personally thank the staff at Sunrise of Metairie for the kindness and care they gave to Charlie during his time with them.
