• Notes

  Charles Edson Case II died peacefully at his Grovetown home while having his morning coffee on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, his 69th birthday. Charlie was born to Elaine and Charles E. Case I in Manchester, CT, in 1945, where he spent his childhood. His childhood was distinguished as he was named an Eagle Scout. Charlie is survived by his cherished son, Charles E. Case III of Brooklyn, NY, his daughter-in-law, Mary, and his first grandchild, a girl expected in March whom he anticipated with much excitement. He is also survived by sisters Marilyn Baseler of Ledyard, CT, and Beverly Davis of Fairfax Square, VA, and by their children Jeanne, Anne, Richard, Andrew, and Wendy, and their children. In addition, Charlie is survived by a goddaughter Ellen Plass and long-time companion Danna Edwards, her daughters Brandy and Sherry, and their children Michael, Sarah, Kaitlyn, and Adilynn whom he thought of as his own. He is preceded in death by his brother David Nelson Case and his parents. Charlie was a life-long and devoted educator. He taught public school in East Hartford, Connecticut, and Brooklyn, New York, from 1968 until 1975 when he began his Ph.D. training in Sociology at the University of Arizona. After earning his Ph.D. in 1983, he continued teaching at the University of Arizona until 1984. For the next six years, Charlie taught at the University of California, Riverside, before moving to Augusta in 1990. He was a sociology professor at Augusta College and then Augusta State University in the Department of Sociology, Criminal Justice, and Social Work for 19 years before his retirement. Throughout his long career, Charlie was known as a staunch advocate for the equality of all persons-he held no quarter for racism or sexism. Dr. Case was Associate Professor Emeritus of Georgia Regents University at the time of his death. Charlie's other loves, besides teaching, included cooking and gardening-two endeavors in which he excelled. As an avid gardener he was an active member of the Seed Savers Exchange specializing in the preservation of exotic and heirloom tomatoes. His final wish is to be at rest among his tomato plants, a gesture by which his family and many friends will lovingly remember him. Memorials may be made to the Boy Scouts of America or, in remembrance of Charlie's love for dogs, the CSRA Humane Society, 425 Wood St., Augusta, GA 30904. Family and friends will celebrate his life with a memorial service at the Lake Olmstead Gazebo in Augusta, GA, at 1:00pm on Tuesday, October 14, 2014.
