Charles Albert McGuire, Jr., of Lodi, age 85 years, passed away on Saturday, 
December 11, 2004, in Lodi, following a lengthy illness. He was born in 
Cunchahaken, Pennsylvania on November 11, 1919. He was reared in New York and 
joined the U.S. Navy at age 17 years old. He served as a crew member on the USS 
Pampanito and was discharged in 1960. He was then employed by Sylvania in 
Mountain View, CA and later moved to Santa Cruz, where he and his wife, Ginnie,

Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 45. They moved to Lodi in 1999. They 
enjoyed traveling all over the United States, and for many years he enjoyed 
playing Santa Claus, especially when children thought he was Santa when they 
saw him without his suit; so he would gladly give them .25 cents and tell them 
to call him just before Christmas with their wishes.
He is survived by his wife, Ginnie McGuire of Lodi; a son, Charles A. McGuire, 
III; 2 daughters, Sandra and Shiela; 3 stepchildren, Sharon, Sonny and Richard;
