Sad news: Charles L. Zue, 85, passed away Sunday, October 13, 2024. He was born to the late Leon & Elma (Gorham) Zue. He grew up in Muskegon, Michigan and enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Charles was an avid pilot who enjoyed building and flying his own planes and was a member of the Replica Fighters Assn., Post Mills Soaring Club, and the Experimental Aircraft Assn. He was an accomplished musician who played many instruments and sang in various choirs throughout the Upper Valley. When time would allow, he could be found fishing. He is survived by his two daughters, Martine Macy and Michele Durham; a son, Steven Zue; five grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and two brothers, James Zue and Thomas Zue.

Family and friends are invited to Charles’ graveside service at the Vermont Veterans Cemetery in Randolph, Vermont on Tuesday, November 12th at 11 AM. Then all are invited to the
Fairlee Community Church of Christ at 2 PM for his memorial celebration.

An online guest book is available to leave a message of condolence for Charles’ family by visiting http://www.rickerfuneralhome.com.

J Labert:    …every single year including this year, without fail, someone always says: Hey!  Where’s Charlie?   Is he coming over on the Badger?   Is he stuck in Manitowac?   Do we need to go get him?     I found the question to be genuine but crazy as Charlie never gets stuck anywhere Charlie does not want to be.   In our group, there are stories of Charlie’s epic journeys to get to the EAA before opening day and his friendship with one of its founder, Tom Poberezney.
