Deceased: Charles James "Chuck" Fonzone, 82 years of age and resident of South Whitehall, passed away Monday, February 13, 2023, at Fellowship Manor in Whitehall. He was born about four miles away, on the banks of the Lehigh River, also in Whitehall. Chuck packed quite a life into that short distance. The son of the late Charles and Margaret (Tognoli) Fonzone, Chuck attended Allentown Central Catholic High School, where he was class president and captain of the football team. He then went to Lehigh University, where he played freshman football and baseball, pledged Sigma Nu, and graduated in 1962 with a B.A. in English. After college, Chuck taught English at Easton Junior High School, while selling televisions and radios for Almart's of Bethlehem on the side. In 1965, he joined the Marine Corps and became an artillery officer. As a Marine, Chuck saw combat and earned the Purple Heart for wounds he suffered in Vietnam. Upon leaving active duty, Chuck briefly resumed teaching before enrolling at Duquesne Law School in 1969. At Duquesne, he served as the managing editor of the law review and, more consequentially, met the love of his life, Mary Ann (Fifick), who would become his wife of 50 years. Chuck returned to the Lehigh Valley after law school and practiced in Allentown for nearly half a century. He got his start as a public defender and at Walker, Thomas, Karess, Lipson, and Zieger. He then started his own firm, Fonzone and Ashley, before retiring from practice in 2018 as a partner at Gross McGinley LLP. Throughout these years, he was active in the Bar and community, serving as Commander of the Honorary First Defenders in 1990. Chuck loved the law, and his wide-ranging practice saw him representing private clients in all manners of litigation while serving as solicitor to numerous Lehigh Valley municipalities and the Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority. He was, more importantly, a dedicated husband, loving father, and good friend. Chuck enjoyed life and always had a smile on his face. Even at the end, when he was suffering from Alzheimer's, Chuck was constantly joking with his caregivers. His family and friends will miss him greatly. Chuck is survived by his wife, Mary Ann; his son Christopher and wife Jill; his son Stephen and wife Brook; and his grandchildren Charlotte, Olivia, Myles, and Juliet; sister Joan Geiger; and brother-in-law Adam James.
