Charles G. Mougalian, age 86, of Wayne passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 28, 2020.
Charlie was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and was the youngest of three sons to George and Varteni Mougalian. Growing up, he spent a lot of his time playing handball and stoop ball on the streets of Brooklyn while also boxing at the Boys' Club and playing basketball in his church league. Following his graduation from Erasmus Hall High School in 1951, he pursued a business degree from New York University, from which he graduated in 1955. He then served in the U.S. Army as a Special 3rd Class Combat Engineer where he earned the U.S. Army Sharpshooter Badge.
After completing his military service, Charlie entered the business world where he spent the next 36 years working in the purchasing and procurement departments of Colgate-Palmolive, American Cyanamid, Shulton, and Procter & Gamble before retiring in 1993.
When he was 17 years old, he met his beloved wife, Lois, at a "Hi-Y" dance sponsored by the Flatbush YMCA. They were married seven years later on October 25, 1958. Lois and Charlie soon started a family and made their home in Wayne, NJ where they lived for the next 56 years. They joined the United Methodist Church in Wayne where Charlie held various volunteer positions as an active church member.
Charlie loved sports, woodworking, and barbecuing. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather and his greatest joy was spending time with his family. He touched the lives of many people and will be missed by everyone who knew him.
Charlie is survived by his wife Lois Mougalian (nee Tyndall) of Wayne, his daughter Lori Ingerman and son-in-law David, his son Chuck Mougalian and daughter-in-law Linda, and his son Gary Mougalian and daughter-in-law Nancy. He also is survived by his eight grandchildren -- Alex, Dylan, Eric, Evan, Grace, Alexis, Madison, and Bailey, who were the source of his greatest joy.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Charlie’s name may be made to the United Methodist Church, 99 Parish Drive, Wayne, NJ 07470.
