Phil Charmoli (Deceased)


Our Xerox friend and associate, Phil Charmoli passed away Wednesday (5/22/24) of a non alcoholic liver illness that he had been fighting for several years. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

George P. ("Phil") Charmoli, 77, completed his journey on earth on Wednesday, May 22, 2023. Phil was born in Louisville, Kentucky on September 16, 1946, to L. J. "Butch" Charmoli and Dorothy Charmoli. Phil was a graduate of DeSales High School ('64), received a bachelor's degree from Xavier University ('68) and a master's degree from Webster College. After four years of service in the U.S. Army, Phil spent 15 years with Xerox before a 36-year career with Commercial Kentucky as an industrial real estate broker where he earned his SIOR and CCIM designations and received several awards in recognition of his success and many professional accomplishments.
In 1972 he married Martha Lee, his wife of 51 years. Phil enjoyed coaching his kids' youth teams and making many memories with family and friends snow skiing, boating/water skiing, golfing, working puzzles and playing cards. Phil started the Briarhill Golf Scramble, an event he spearheaded for 20 years, which grew into a week's worth of neighborhood events for the entire Briarhill community. Recognized as a Kentucky Colonel, Phil took great pride in his work with the March of Dimes where he was one of the founders of the Commercial REACH Award. He also donated his time to Volunteers of America, Boy Scouts of America and the L.J. "Butch" Charmoli scholarship award at duPont Manual High School. The consummate planner, Phil was dedicated and disciplined in his approach to everything whose heart was always in the right place. He was especially fond of time with friends and family which included trips to Barren River, Destin, Sky Valley, Las Vegas and Gatlinburg and loved to be in on a good prank. Phil enjoyed spending time with his kids and grandkids, UK sports, telling the Danny Ambramowicz story, cutting his grass and picking up gumballs (even though he said he hated it).
Phil is predeceased by his parents, two brothers (Bob and Dave) and his sister (Jane). He leaves behind his loving wife of 51 years, Marty Charmoli. Phil is also survived by his two children Greg (Kelly) and Jennifer Fratesi (Brian), his sister-in-law Peggy Charmoli as well as the five grandchildren he was so proud of: Jack, Ava and George Charmoli and Josie and Emmie Fratesi. He was also very fond of his nephew, four nieces as well as a many dear friends, his Commercial Kentucky work family and several long-time business associates.

Phil was a terrific guy and a very good friend. I remember back long ago (1974) when Phil and Marty, Paul and Carol Nagel, Dick and Mary Johnsen, Marc and Michele Eisner and Joyce and I spent the Memorial weekend on a houseboat on Dale Hollow Lake, what a great memory! Phil will be missed but, he is leaving behind some wonderful memories for me and I am sure everyone who knew him!

Very sad. Phil and I were sales trainees together having been hired about the same time. I went to Lexington, he got a territory in Louisville, the rest is history. A good guy as you said, talented, and hard worker. We needed more like him.

Although I didn't know Phil personally, due to my Xerox tenure principally in Minneapolis, I heard plenty of great things about him from others when I moved here in 1982 for a position with NTS. Always sad to hear of the passing of one of our Xerox brethren.

Darlene, I keep a roster of former Xerox employees that I’d like to send you. I compiled it when we had a Xerox reunion last summer, which we hope to have again. If you will send me your contact info (email and cell) I would like to add you to the list. Laura.hood03@gmail.com. I doubt you remember me, but I was the first summer intern (1980)and ended up staying for 15 years. Laura Langdon Hood
