Charles “Ty” Edward Requarth
88, passed away Monday April 10, 2017 in Dayton. He was preceded in death by his son, Jay Requarth, and his brother Harold Requarth. He leaves his longtime partner Janice Neiderman; daughter Julie Requarth; son and daughter-in-law John and Cindy Requarth; grandson Joseph Requarth; sister Louise Pippenger; sister-in-law Cherriann Requarth; and loving nieces and nephews.
Born in Dayton on March 4, 1929, Charlie was the middle son of the late Earl and Naomi Requarth. He graduated from Fairview High School in 1947, joined the Navy Reserves and attended Miami University. He was drafted into the US Army and sent to Korea where he served in the infantry and fought on the front lines.
While still in high school, he began his career at the F.A. Requarth Co. in 1945 by nailing boxes in the mill. After returning from Korea in 1953, he went to work in the drafting room preparing shop drawings for architectural millwork. Eventually he would join his brother Harold and brother-in-law Jim Pippenger as the fourth generation owners and managers of the family business. He continued to run the millwork operations until his retirement in 1994.
Warm and engaging, Charlie was a popular and much loved friend, family member and businessman. At the shop, his millwork expertise was respected and sought-after on projects across the Miami Valley. He was a keeper of family history, a prolific photographer, a devoted grandfather, and avid golfer and bowler. He traveled extensively in the US and abroad, yet was loyal to his local favorites. He was lunchtime regular for many years at the Moraine Embassy until it closed, then moved to Keowee St. and the Legacy Pancake House.
Friends and family may visit from 4-7pm on Thursday, April 13 at the Westbrock Funeral Home, 1712 Wayne Ave., Dayton. A memorial service will be held at the funeral home at 10 am on Friday, April 14 followed by burial at Memorial Park Cemetery, 8135 N. Dixie Dr., Dayton.
