Mr. Bledsoe was born on Nov. 22, 1930 in Whitesville to George and Laura (Langdon) Bledsoe. He served in the U.S. Army from 1951-53. On Sept. 23, 1978, he married Nancy M. Mosher, who survives. Charlie worked for the Allegany County Highway Department for over 30 years as a truck driver and heavy equipment operator before retiring in the early 1990’s. Previously, he worked for the Town of Independence. In addition to his wife of 36 years, Charlie is survived by two daughters, Charlene (Bill) McComb of Henderson, Nev. and Kimberly Hartmann of Frederick, Md.; one son, Bradley (Marcy) Bledsoe of Andover; three brothers, Harold Bledsoe of Austin, Pa., George (Joanne) Bledsoe of Montrose, Pa. and Carol (Sherry) Bledsoe of Zephyrhills, Fla.; 4 grandchildren, Troy (Ray) Rounds, Tory (Melinda) Rounds, Katy (Steve) Willard and Colin Bledsoe; 11 great grandchildren, Emma, Grady, Gabrielle, Elden, Nolan, Maureen, Bailey, Jade, Jasmine, Keaton and Kenton; and several nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by two infant sons, Charles Bledsoe and Gregory Bledsoe; one sister, Donna Mae Smith; and one brother, Eugene Bledsoe. Charlie was an avid hunter and fisherman. He enjoyed dancing, working on equipment and motors, gardening and carpentry. To those who were his friends, he will be fondly remembered as a jokester. There will be no prior visitation. There will be a graveside service with full military honors held on Saturday (Sept. 12, 2015) at 11:00 a.m. at the Whitesville Rural Cemetery. At 12:30 p.m., immediately following the graveside service, there will be a celebration of his life at the Wellsville American Legion Post 702 in Wellsville.
