1945 – 2015

SOUTH PARIS — Charles E. Micklon, 69, of Lovell passed away Friday, March 13, at the Maine Veterans’ Home in South Paris, where he resided for the past year.

Born Aug. 7, 1945, in Norway, Charlie attended Oxford Hills High School and graduated in 1964.

He enlisted in the Army in 1966 as a paratrooper and was stationed in Germany for three years. He was honorably discharged in 1970.

Charlie went to work at the Bridgton Knitting Mills and worked his way up into management, where he met Lynn Hurd. They married on Sept. 22, 1974. Several years later, they built a home on Christian Hill Road in Lovell, which was his pride and joy.

Charlie went into car sales at Ripley and Fletcher Ford and then started his own business, Charlie’s Chores.

Charlie was an outdoorsman and loved fishing, hunting and golfing. He also loved his cows and horses that he raised on his property. He was also very committed to the Lovell Lions and the Delta Masonic Lodge No. 153 of Lovell, and was always there to lend a hand in any way possible.

Charlie is predeceased by his parents, Clarence and Elizabeth Micklon; and his brothers, Bert, Gerry and Earl Micklon.

He is survived by his brother, Richard Micklon and his two sisters, Delma Staley and Phyllis Libby; sons, Colin C. Micklon and his wife, Rose, and Steve M. Millett; his grandchildren, Bryce and Caleb Micklon, and Erika and Macie Millett; and several nieces and nephews.

We would like to thank the entire staff and friends at the Veterans’ Home in South Paris for making his final days enjoyable. He was a jokester with a great heart and has many friends that he’s leaving behind.
