Lt. Col. Charles Allen Ewing

His formative years were spent in Jamestown, NY. He joined the USAF in 1962 where he met the love of his life, Miss Judy Moses, while stationed at Dow Air Force Base in Bangor, ME, where they were married in 1965. After his tour in Vietnam in 1971, he was transferred to Travis AFB in CA to become a C-5 Pilot in the 75th Squadron where he remained until he retired in 1981. After retiring from the Air Force, he found another dream job at the local Pacific Hardware Store where he could use his knowledge of building a house from scratch! His trademark mustache was a fixture there for over 20 years. At his home in Vacaville, when Chuck wasn’t flying or fixing elsewhere, he was either tinkering in the garage, tending his roses, riding his Harley, doing his crossword puzzles or exploring Genealogy.

He leaves behind his loving wife Judy of 58 years, a son, Charles Jr. (Leslie) of Vacaville, a daughter, Katy Cava (Matt) of Salinas, CA; seven grandchildren, and four great grandchildren – all bright stars in Grampa Chuck’s universe! He also leaves behind two siblings, sister Joan Nickels(Tom) of VA and nephew Doug of FL, and brother Jim Ewing (Su) of NY, as well as his brother-in-law, Ed Moses of NH and many cousins that he was still in contact with. And not to forget his extended family – all the wonderful friends he has made along the way in his various postings with the Air Force and his 52 years in Vacaville.

He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Please join us for a celebration of his life on June 16,2023 from 11:00am to 2:00pm at the Vacaville Veterans Memorial Building.
