Charles F Bost, lovingly known as Chuck, entered eternal rest on Thursday, December 7th, at the age of 77.  He was born on July 22, 1946, in Greensboro, NC, and peacefully passed away in Mechanicsville, VA.

Chuck's legacy lives on through his beloved wife, Carolyn Tittle Bost, and their two children, Laurie and Marty. Chuck was a man of many talents and passions. In his youth, he excelled as a fullback for Highland Springs, scoring the first and last touchdowns of his senior year in 1964. Chuck's determination and academic prowess led him to become the first in his family to attend the University of Virginia, where he pursued his dream of becoming a football coach and sports media personality.  During his time at UVA, Chuck was even known as "Frank Charles" as he delivered the news for the university's radio station.

Following his graduation in 1968, Chuck was drafted into the Navy and served on the USS HORNET. He had fond memories of his time in the Navy, including standing next to Ann Margaret and retrieving the first men on the moon!

(Unfortunately, Chuck contracted a blood disease while serving overseas, which silently plagued him for the rest of his life and ultimately led to his sudden passing.)

After being honorably discharged from the Navy, Chuck returned to Virginia with his wife and their firstborn.  They then had Marty four years later.  

During the following years Chuck dedicated himself to the family business, Bost Construction, working alongside his father and brother, Bill, for over 50 successful years.

In addition, Chuck pursued his passion for coaching, making a lasting impact on the Mechanicsville community through his dedication to Mechanicsville Little League. 

Chuck was a man of faith, finding solace in his favorite passages like Proverbs 6:16-19 and Psalm 120:6-7.  His son will forever cherish the memories of their talks about God and the guidance his “Pop” provided to help him find his own spiritual path.

Marty wishes to add, “My father was the hardest working man I’ve ever met. I know because I had to keep up with him loading equipment for Monday mornings, working for him in the summer, and then full-time after college.  Every scar on my hands has a story and a physical place where I was digging holes and tying steel with my dad in the prime of his life.  Unlike everyone else with their hand out, I earned every one and bled for them willingly as my birthright.  He was my hero.”

 Chuck will be laid to rest at 11am on Monday, December 18th at Signal Hill.

May he rest in peace.
