Charles F. "Tony" Maher
May 22, 1937 ~ January 22, 2020
Charles F. “Tony” Maher, Jr., 82, Greenwood, passed away January 22, 2020. Tony was born May 22, 1937, in the Bronx, New York, to the late Charles F. and Cora (Flanagan) Maher.
He graduated from Mt. Healthy High School (OH) in 1955 and attended Miami University. He worked for U.S. Steel for many years as a salesman and retired from Action Steel. Although he had a successful career, it was joked that Tony loved to watch other people work. He was an avid bowler and golfer. Always one to enjoy a good time, Tony could easily be described as the life of the party. Tony also enjoyed attending the sporting events of his daughters and in more recent years attending theater, choir or sporting events of his grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Joyce and a brother, Gerald Maher.
Survivors include his two daughters, Jamie (David) Jacques of Groveport, Ohio and Tami (Jeffrey) Edminster of Greenwood; one sister, Sheila Maher of Ohio; four grandchildren, Caitlin, Matthew, Alexandria, and Abigail.
The family would like to thank the caregivers and the hospice care team members who assisted in the care and support of the family.

He always loved coming to the house and watching me work and always wanted to know what I was up to. Going to always remember the great family vacations we had with Mamaw & Papaw with the Jacques family. Always loved sneaking away with Papaw, Caitlin & Matthew to go to the “grocery store”, while Jamie and Mamaw unpacked. Little did they know we went to get ice cream – Papaw’s treat. He always liked doing that and told us, now don’t let Joyce know. David Jacques
We remember Tony coming over to family gatherings and he was such a fun-loving guy–always happy and always fun to be around. John says that he and Tony enjoyed going to the 19th hole after golfing! We will miss you Tony.
I got to know Tony at the Hearth where he and my husband Steve lived . He would always greet me at the nurses station & we would talk about golf & drinking a beer or having a cup of coffee ! Even though he couldn’t remember a lot .. he was a joy to be around & him and Steve did walk around together & enjoyed each other’s company. I got to know Tami and from her I got know more about Tony in his younger life & to become a friend of Tami’s ! My prayers go out to the whole family & I will miss visiting with Tony ! God Bless to all . Beth Cline
Tony Chuck Charles ! What a wonderful neighbor and friend. Our families had such fun and when I was at a low point in my life Tony and Joyce were such super supporters. He, with Joyce’s help, introduced me to wine. They will be remembered fondly.
Thank you, Beth, for being kind to my dad.
That tracks! They loved having you as a neighbor and friend.
Thank you for being so great to my parents! They loved being included in all the celebrations and fun.
