PAVANEL,
Charles "
Charlie" (1925-2007)
Charles PAVANEL, who died Saturday, November 17, 2007 at the
age of 82, enjoyed every opportunity life afforded him. 'You
only go through this world once,' he said, 'so you've got to
have a good time.' For Charlie, a good time meant standing by
his family and Friends through thick and thin, living large at
social gatherings, sharing a joke or handful of cash with strangers
in need, and excelling at sports and in business. A no-nonsense
competitor and unafraid to take chances, Charlie commanded the
respect and affection of many who met him on the field and in
the boardroom. Born in 1925 in Cooksville to Carlo and Elena
PAVANEL, who had emigrated from Treviso, Italy, Charles was the
youngest of seven children. From the age of nine he was drawn
time and again to the Credit Valley Golf Course, where he learned
the game first as a caddie and later as a talented and dedicated
player. He also showed great skill as a running back for the
Port Credit High School football team. It was at high school
that he met his future wife, Mary
McDERMOTT, who was a member
of the cheerleading squad. They were married on April 28, 1951,
in a small ceremony at the Port Credit Presbyterian Church, and
went on to have five children. During the Second World War, Charlie
served in the Navy. He graduated in Chemical Engineering from
the University of Toronto in 1951. Right out of school he was
hired by B.F. Goodrich to work in Waterloo as part of the Chemical
Division's sales team, and some time later became one of the
firm's leading managers. After settling in he joined Rockway
Golf Club and later Westmount Golf and Country Club, where he
laid low the competition for more than three decades, both on
the golf course and, for several years, the curling rink. A 3-handicapper
- with a best score of 69 on par 72 - Charlie took great pleasure
in playing many of the top courses in the world, and always appreciated
the game for opening innumerable doors both in business and Friendship.
He was also a member of the KW Racquet Club in Kitchener, the
Mississauga Golf Club, the Tournament Players Club in Dearborn,
Michigan, and the Vines Golf Club in Fort Myers, Florida. He
also belonged to the local Gyro Club. In 1974, Charlie enjoyed
immediate success with the founding of Genesta Manufacturing,
which was begun with the help of Mary, who ran the office out
of their dining room for the first year. Hematite Manufacturing
was added in 1978, and in 1987, Genesta, Hematite and other interests
became Pavaco Plastics Inc. Under Charlie's leadership, the company
garnered several awards, and introduced many industry firsts
in the lighting and automotive sectors. Charlie was devastated
following the death of Mary on May 7, 1986, but a year later
had the good fortune to meet Vivian
McLEAN, and after 12 happy
years they were married on July 13, 2000. Charles is survived
by Vivian, his children Ellen, John, Jane and Joanne (Alex predeceased
him on December 20, 2006), and their spouses Wendy, Clare, Sami,
Mark and Mike; his grandchildren Adam, Leah, Kate, Evan, Hailie,
Charlie, Nicholas, Hannah, May, Jack, Liam, Maddie, Callum, Hannah,
Amy and Elizabeth; his brother and sister-in-law Bruni and Marie,
and his sister-in-law Mary
KAY.
Charles is missed by Vivian's
children, Wendy, Susan, Gary, and Patrick. He is lovingly remembered
for being a generous and upright father, a fun-loving uncle,
an excellent companion to his Friends, and a good provider for
all who were fortunate to enjoy the charm and embrace of his
company. A memorial celebration of Charles' life will be held
at Del Dente's at The Charcoal Steakhouse, 2980 King St. E. Kitchener
on Sunday, December 2, 2007 from 1-4 p.m. A private family service
at Charles's residence was officiated by Rev. Walter
McLEAN.
