Charles Lathrop Parsons Vaughan age 87 of Wayne, died peacefully on Thursday, June 19, 2008 at the Renaissance Care Center at Cedar Crest Village in Pompton Plains.
He was born in Savannah, GA and at age one the family moved to East Aurora, NY where he was raised. Charles went to the University of New Hampshire where he met his future wife Jane. It was “love at first sight” for Charles, but Jane had eyes for another man. By the end of their freshman year they were dating steadily and married on October 9, 1943, just a few months after graduation.
Charles graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry. He furthered his education at Penn State University, State College, PA where he received both his master’s degree and finally his doctorate degree both in organic chemistry. While at Penn State, during WWII, he worked on formulating special high octane fuels for aircraft. After graduating from Penn State he took a position with the Hercules Powder Corporation in Wilmington, DE where he worked for thirty-six years until his retirement in 1986.
Charles leaves his family with fond memories that include his adoring and loving role as a husband to Jane for sixty-five years and his loving ways with his children.
He is the beloved husband of sixty-five years to Jane(Austin) Vaughan; loving father of Charles Vaughan, Jr. of New York City, Douglas Vaughan and his wife Nancy of Beaufort, NC and Nancy Van Denburgh of Wayne; cherished grandfather of Daniel and Thomas Van Denburgh; loved brother of the late James Robert Vaughan(1967).
