Charles Howard 'Charlie' Ashby DOVER - Charles "Charlie" Howard Ashby, 81, of Dover, passed away on Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2010, at the Delaware Hospice Center. He was born on Nov. 29, 1928, in Newburg, W.Va., to Monroe and Mary Ashby. After graduating from Newburg High in 1946, Charlie served his country proudly in the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict. After his service, Charlie met his wife, Alice, and moved to Maryland where he raised three daughters. Charlie worked for Harvey Dairy and then owned and operated Charlie's Amoco in Bladensburg, Md., until his retirement. Charlie loved baseball and was approached three times by the Brooklyn Dodgers while in high school. Although he decided against pro-baseball, his love of the sport never waned. He was a softball and basketball coach for his three daughters. In addition, he was an avid bowler for over 60 years. Charlie took up golf with a passion and could often be found with his buddies at Old Landing and Jonathan's Landing golf courses. He passed this love of golf onto his grandchildren and delighted in "teeing it up" with them. He is survived by his wife, Alice, of 57 years; three daughters, Patricia Satterwhite and her husband Mickey of Hollister, Calif., Carolyn Sue Harrigan of Dover, and Brenda Drerenberger and her husband Tad of Warrenton, Va.; grandchildren, Tim Satterwhite of Hollister, Calif., Katie Reed of Elk Grove, Calif., and Thomas, Brandon, and Christopher Drerenberger of Warrenton, Va.; a sister, Genevive and her husband Russell Kellar of Gainesville, Fla.
