Charles D. Sigman

He moved to Akron in 1951 and worked for Goodyear Aerospace/Lockheed Martin, retiring after 37 1/2 years. After retiring, Charles went to work part time at The Chapel in the maintenance department where he was a long time member, and enjoyed spending winters in Arizona.

Even though dementia was taking over the past few years, he still knew who his family was.
