Peacefully, surrounded by his loving daughters, at Woodhall Park Retirement Village, Brampton on Friday, May 28, 2021, Charles Tighe, in his 92nd year, beloved husband for 53 years of the late Mary Frances Theresa Tovey (May 2008). Dear father of Helen Tighe and her husband David Allengame, Caledon; Susan Tighe and her husband Christopher Raymond, Waterloo and predeceased by Mary K. and Thomas. Loving grandfather of Cody, Hannah and Carol. Brother-in-law to Helen McDevitt; uncle and great uncle to many nieces and nephews. Charles had a long and happy life. He worked initially for Avro and then later worked 32 years for Air Canada but was always a farmer at heart. He was happiest working around his farm in Caledon with Theresa by his side. He was a devote Catholic, an active gardener, enjoyed raising chickens and loved playing a good game of euchre. After Theresa’s death he lived on the farm for several years and eventually moved to Woodhall Park Retirement Village.
The family would like to especially thank the nursing and PSW staff at Woodhall Park Retirement Village where he lived for the last five years for their compassionate care.
A private Funeral Mass will be held in St. Cornelius Roman Catholic Church, 16631 Kennedy Road (north of the Grange Sideroad), Caledon. Private family interment St. Cornelius Cemetery, Caledon.
If desired, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society.

I will all ways remember Charlie as a humble and soft spoken man . It seemed he was always happy and never saw him get upset . He loved his family very much and that’s really all that was important to him . He told me I had better get married or I would end up like a lonely dog. Thanks god I did . It is the best thing I ever did. Love you guys

Frank Yang Liu
Dear Prof. Tighe,
My deepest condolences to you and your whole family!
I am so sad to hear this, and I cannot believe it, we just talked about him during our gathering in your place about a week ago before I left Canada, you told me that he is doing well, just sometimes hard to recognize people, and I didn’t think that much because my uncle is experiencing the same thing.
I remember meeting him at one of our Christmas parties held in your house, he was sitting on the couch and telling us lots of stories, he was such a kind and nice gentleman.
May his peace rest in peace!

Dear Tighe Family
At St. Cornelius we have been missing Charlie in his usual seat, with Jae Egan, and after Church, with Phil McEnaney at breakfast; not to forget his delightful presence at the coffee parties, when his farmer’s eye and that of John Landriault could tell us what the incoming weather had in store for us.
We were privileged to have known him and wish him eternal rest.
My sympathy to all the family, may he rest in peace.
With love
Miriam
