Charles Jorge Zee

Charles was the son of Charles and Pauline, and grew up alongside his siblings Dolores, Michael, and Marie. From his earliest years, he carried a steady sense of purpose and a deep respect for the people and places that shaped him.

For 45 years, Charles worked in the Communication Field, dedicating himself to his profession with consistency and quiet pride. His life reflected the value of showing up, doing the work well, and building something dependable over time.

Charles married Judith G. (Hoffman), and they shared 40 years of marriage. Charles is remembered with affection by his children, Charlie, Debbie, and Kevin, and as a grandfather of many.

Outside of work and family, Charles found joy and calm in the sky and the airwaves—flying his airplanes, spending time with Ham Radio, and flying kites. These interests spoke to a lifelong appreciation for connection, freedom, and the simple satisfaction of a well-loved pastime.
