Charles Albert McGuire Jr., 85, of Lodi, died Dec. 11 in Lodi following a 
lengthy illness. He was born Nov. 11, 1919, in Cunchahaken, Penn.

Mr. McGuire was raised in New York. He joined the U.S. Navy at the age of 17, 
and served as a crew member on the USS Pampanito until he was discharged in 
1960. He was employed by Sylvania in Mountain View. He later moved to Santa

years. They also managed several motels in Santa Cruz, San Jose, San Francisco 
and Los Banos until their retirement. He also served as a tour guide on the USS 
Panpanito after it was stationed at San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 45. 
They moved to Lodi in 1999. He and his wife enjoyed traveling all over the

he was Santa even without his suit on. He would give them 25 cents and tell 
them to call him just before Christmas with their wishes.

III; daughters, Sandra and Shiela; step-daughter, Sharon; step-sons, Sonny and 
Richard; 19 grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren.
