Charles “Chooch” J. Calderone, 81, of Ambridge, passed away on August 10th, 2025. He was born on April 8th, 1944, a son of the late Santo and Florence Calderone. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his daughter, Michelle Kennedy, his sons, Robert Glotzbach and Michael Calderone, his brother, Joseph Calderone, his first wife, Margaret Calderone-Isenbreg and his great-grandson, Jacob Thompson.

Charles had a lifelong passion for restoring old cars: taking them apart piece by piece and rebuilding them with care. He also enjoyed collecting model cars, watching classic western TV shows and listening to Elvis Presley, whose music was a constant in his life. He cherished time spent with friends, often meeting them at McDonald’s, and above all, treasured every moment with his beloved wife and large, loving family.

Family and friends will be received on Wednesday, August 13th, from 2–4 P.M. and from 5 P.M. until the time of the funeral service at 7 P.M. at Alvarez-Hahn Funeral Services and Cremation, LLC, 547 8th Street, Ambridge, who was in charge of his arrangements. Interment will be private.
