To the Earling Family, Just learned of Chuck's passing. What a great guy. I really enjoyed working for him at Williamstown HS. May he rest in peace.

Margaret, I was sad to learn of Charlie's passing. It was a pleasure working with him - always positive and kind. May you find comfort in your happy memories and the caring of a community who loved him. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Deborah Cloud

Chuck was a member of the Finance Committee for our community, Parke Place, and he was always energetic, wise, helpful, kind and supportive. I didn't take the opportunity to get to know him well, but have no doubt he was like that toward everyone and every situation he met. Rest in peace, Chuck.

Dear Margaret, First of all, for what it’s worth, I’m sorry for your loss. Second, I pray that the Holy Spirit comforts you and your entire family during this tough time. The Bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD. God bless you in Jesus’ name. Sincerely, Jeremy F. Hagan, Former student at Collingswood High School

Mr. Earling was always really nice to me when I attended Washington Twp HS. He will be missed

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I’ve traveled all 50 states and a couple of dozen countries, and I have never met another person like Charlie. His mixture of accomplishments and mischief was truly unique. While he pushed the envelope with his free wheeling nature, there was never a doubt that he was totally commited to what was best for the students of Washington Township. Rest in peace? I don’t think so. Charlie will be too busy making his mark in the afterlife as well. He will be missed by all of us who fondly recall his escapades.

We love you, Uncle Chuck. Rest peacefully always.

We go way back, we where bad kids together,. and he said I cant believe they made you Mayor, from Brigantine

My condolences to Margret and family. I will always treasure my memories with Chuck. Steve Buono

Sincere condolences to your family on the loss of your loved one. May all your precious memories provide you comfort and peace. Sincerely, Marie Huber and family Coach Ray's widow ACHS Vikings forever ?

Charlie and I were teammates on the 1963 ACHS baseball team. As the second baseman, I was on the receiving end of the cannon Charlie called an arm. It was our SJ Group IV Championship year and nobody ran on Charlie. In 2017, I reconnected with Charlie when he spear-headed the induction of our 1963 team into the ACHS Sports Hall of Fame. I'll remember him fondly as a humble man who quietly gave of himself to others.

Margaret & Family, We are so very sorry that Chuck has moved to Heaven but are truly thankful that he is free from all the sickness he has endured. We were blessed to have had him a part of our lives. It was amazing how he maintained such a positive attitude thru it all. He will be greatly missed - he touched so many lives. Thankfully, we have the blessed assurance that we will see him again one day when it is our turn to move to Heaven. Please know that we love you and will surround you and the family with prayer. We know that Jesus will comfort you in the days ahead with HIS amazing love.

We are so sorry to hear to Charlie's passing. He was great and an inspiration to all, especially supporting the marching band and football club. He will be missed throughout the district. Sue & Vince Esposito

Thoughts and prayers to Margaret and family. We have so many fond memories of this special man. He drove a limo after I graduated nursing school and provided a fun guided tour of South Philly, trips to Killington Ski Resort and Seven Springs in Pa. He was life of any party and was the most kind man. Heaven gained an angel!

Rest in peace my friend. You will truly be missed. Prayers of comfort for the entire family during this difficult time.

He will truly be missed. I wish I had made one of those Disney trips!! Make sure to keep his tradition going. May the lord bless and keep you. Sending love

Charlie called me 3 weeks ago. "It’s Charlie your catcher." It was 60 years ago we played on the 1963 ACHS baseball team which was inducted into the ACHS hall of fame. Charlie was responsible for that as a great player and a spokesman for the team to be recognized. He loved talking about our Babe Ruth and ACHS baseball days. He always made me look good. I told him the last time we spoke that nobody is going to remember all those athletic awards that he needed a statue. But he was more that an athlete. Despite his recent physical problems he was always upbeat and going to do what he wanted to do. He was such an inspiration. The man never had a bad word to say about anybody. I will sorely miss my old catcher but not forget him. Rest in peace Chuck.

What can I or anyone say that would be sufficient in paying tribute to Charles Earling. He along with others was responsible for me coming to Washington Township many years ago. His support, guidance, and friendship was something that I have always cherished. Our families would sometimes meet in Disney and laugh as well as get into trouble while there, because either he or I would instigate it. His presence in the district was unequaled. His passion for the students and athletic programs was monumental. His personality, portrayals of Santa, The Easter Bunny, and other antics brought smiles to all of us. Perhaps the greatest tribute that could be bestowed upon any person is to say that he will NOT ONLY BE MISSED BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY HE WILL BE REMEMBERED. To my friend and colleague, I will always remember. Sleep well my friend.

Kevin, we are sorry to hear of the loss of your Father. Praying for peace and consolation for you and your family during this time. -Lieutenant and family

Charlie was the most positive, kind est and humorous person I ever known. He was an amazing man who loved his family and dedicated to providing opportunities for all students. There was only one Charlie or Charlene. God Bless his family.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Kevin, family, and extended family, our most sincere condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. "Mr. Earling" was a great guy and a family friend. He will be missed by all that knew him.

Very sad to hear about Charlie's passing. He dedicated his life to helping kids enjoy their experiences in school. Sending my sincerest condolences to the Earling Family.

Chuck, my condolences on the loss of your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Mary and Megan.

He was a true gentleman. Fair to all. May God bless him and his family who mourn. ❤️

Chuck was a kind-hearted, caring, loving person. He taught me so much when he mentored me at Monroe. He called often when I got sick and he always had kind words. I am going to miss him. Prayers to the Earling family.

Dear chuck We will miss you and we will always remember our amazing memories of all the wonderful times we spent together !! you and your beautiful family will always be in my prayers tony langella

Sending many prayers and ❤️

So sorry to hear the sad news, Charlie was the best. I will miss him.

Memories of last year when we reunited with his Dads accordion - listening to Charlie making beautiful music - a memory to be cherished. My sincere sympathy to all. With love - Peg

Sending my condolences ? to Jennifer Ferrante and her family. Having the pleasure to have work with you gave me the opportunity to see the bond you and your father had and all the memories you shared. Praying for strength through this hard time.

Chuck was such a fun guy and we have so many great memories of him while being Band parents for 8 years at WTHS. Our most sincere sympathy to his whole family.

To Chuck's Family and Friends- I am sorry for this loss. I hope memories will bring you some comfort. When I was a rookie Athletic Director Chuck was a willing mentor. He was all about the kids. While some AD's saw Cheerleaders as a nuisance, Chuck established an Olympic Conference Cheer Competition. He worked on developing Sportsmanship among the schools. He had a great sense of humor and also a great devotion to his family . I am sure he has heaven organized. He will for sure be sending his love and support to you. May he rest in peace.

Prayers of comfort during this time. Celebrating his life will bring tears, but they will be mixed with fondness and joy because of who he was.... much love, Yvonne.

So sorry to hear of Charlie's passing. He was a very caring, upbead individual and always managed to put a smile on my face. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.

He was such a wonderful athletic director. He was always taking care of the kids. He was fun to be around. He will missed.

I worked with Chuck when he was principal of Collingswood High School, and found him to be the most positive, upbeat educator I ever worked with. He was always there for the kids, serving as a wonderful role model for them, his teachers, and his colleagues. It was a pleasure working with and knowing him- truly one of a kind.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

God bless Chuck in heaven. I will always cherish all the laughs and great times we had together. Prayers and love for Margaret and family.

A true professional and gentleman. To say one of a kind would be an understatement. Thank you for your friendship and life experiences that you shared with our three children while at WTHS. You will be missed.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I last saw Charles at an Atlantic City High School class of 1965 get-together some years ago. I remember him fondly as a good guy, a nice person, from our years at ACHS. The world is a little bit poorer without Charles, a good human being. I will miss his kind spirit.

Godspeed, Mr. Earling! You were such a wonderful, happy, caring man! It has been a pleasure to know you for so long and in so many different capacities, starting as the athletic director at WTHS in 1972 when I was in the 8th grade. I know that you have left a huge, positive impact on the lives of the people in South Jersey. What a blessing you have been!

My heart is broken, a brother I never had. So so many memories with you. A mentor, a friend, family. Will miss you?

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
