Greenville Daily News - Tues. Nov. 5, 2013

Belding- Charles A. "Bub" Mahar, 86, of Belding, died Saturday evening Nov. 2, 
2013, at Metron of Belding.

Bub was born on Sept. 19, 1926, in Carson City, the son of John W. and Matilda 
L. (Adrian) Mahar.

He graduated from Belding High School with the class of 1944 and served in the 
United States Army during World War II. In earlier years, Bub served as a 
Little League coach. For many years, Bub and Will Youngs were the radio voices 
of the Belding Redskins football team. He thoroughly enjoyed the many times he 
spent calling out play by play all of the Friday night football games. It 
didn't matter if Belding was winning or not, he was there calling and 
commenting on the team, the plays and the fans. Many a Redskins fan shed a 
silent tear when Bub and Will retired. He was a past member of the Belding VFW 
Post 4406 and of Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Belding.

Bub was married on Dec. 9, 1946, in Belding to Lucada "Lucky" Churchill and she 
preceded him in 2005. He was also preceded by his parents and a brother and 
sister-in-law, Ronnie and Blanche Mahar.

Bub is loved and survived by his children, Pam and Vern Wittenbach of Deleware, 
Chari and Terry Johnson of Laurium, Chuck and Peggy Mahar of Greenville, Tom 
and Laurie Mahar of Hot Springs, S.D., Matt and Percy Mahar of Greenville; 14 
grandchildren; 33 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; his 
brothers and sister-in-law, Jack and Louise Mahar of Belding, Putt and Jack 
Crandall of Lake Placid, Fla. and all his friends and family at Metron of 
Belding.

Funeral services will be 11 a.m. Thursday at Johnson-Feuerstein funeral Home, 
Belding, with pastor Joel Heron of Greenville Community Church officiating. 
Committal prayers and full military honors will follow in River Ridge Cemetery, 
Belding.

Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the funeral home.

Memorials may be given to the Belding Athletic Boosters or the Belding Museum.

The family would like to offer a special thanks to the many caregivers at 
Metron of Belding for the special care, love and support given to Bub over the 
past few years.
