LEWISBURG — Charles H. “Chuck” Aikey, 63, of 214 Goodman Road, entered into rest at 6:20 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2013, at Geisinger Medical Center, Danville.

He was born June 1, 1949, in Mifflinburg, a son of Mervin E. Aikey and the late Edna J. (Wirth) Aikey, who preceded him in death on Dec. 21, 2010. On May 5, 1981, in Mifflinburg, he married the former Sandra I. Oberdorf, who survives.

Chuck was a 1967 graduate of Mifflinburg High School.

Chuck was employed at ConAgra, Milton, for 44 years.

Chuck enjoyed fishing, riding motorcycles, being around horses, attending auctions and buying junk and turning it into treasures. He loved to stop and chat with people, tell stories and preach the word of God. In his younger years, he played softball and later coached softball for many years. He was a generous man and was always willing to help children. One of his joys was to spend time with his grandchildren.
