Charles W Luther

Charles “Chuck” W. Luther, 71, of Pennsburg, PA, passed away on May 10th, 2023, in his home. Born in Pittsburgh, PA, he was the son of the late William Luther and Ann Luther (Clouser). 

Chuck graduated from West Mifflin High School and went on to continue his education at Penn State University where he received a bachelor’s degree in business. Some would say Chuck "wrote the book" on sales with an emphasis on listening and building relationships. His “three-legged stool” analogy was his own interpretation of what a satisfying sales encounter should be. He worked in the commercial tire industry and was employed by Yokohama Tire Corporation. He was a practicing Presbyterian and attended Doylestown Presbyterian Church. Chuck and his wife, Linda, moved into an old farmhouse 23 years ago and spent their time turning it into their home. For years, every weekend Chuck and Linda would spend their days outside in the garden. He built stone walls on the property 23 years ago and those walls are still standing today. Chuck also built a stone staircase that leads to the top of the garden and a stone bench with his neighbor, Paul. 

Chuck loved cars and watching the movie Cars with his grandchildren. He could identify car models, the year they were built, how rare the car was, and even how many models of that car were made. Chuck had a sense of adventure, he loved being in nature, going on hikes, and fishing with his family and friends. One of Chuck’s biggest adventures is when he climbed Mount Katahdin, the biggest mountain in Maine, with his daughter, Shana, and his son-in-law, John. In his later years, he enjoyed woodworking, he bought the equipment and began making Linda and friends anything from picture frames to cutting boards. Above all, Chuck was a hard-working man, who loved to stay busy, and always put his family first. 

Chuck will be dearly missed by his wife, Linda, together they shared over 50 years of marriage; his children, Charlie (Tracie) and Shana (John Earle); his grandchildren, Nick, Sam, Portia, and Charlie; his sister, LouAnn Luther (Marvin Riegle); his brothers and sisters-in-law, William Walker (Dorothy Walker) and Ruth Ann Abdullah (Hamka Abdullah); along with loving nieces and nephews. Chuck is predeceased by his brother, Bill Luther (Betsy Luther).

A celebration of life will be held in the future. All arrangements are made by Naugle Funeral & Cremation Service, Ltd. 135 W. Pumping Station Road, Quakertown, PA, 18951. (215-536-3343)
