ODDO - Charles A.
October 6, 1929 - February 19, 2026
Charlie, born and raised in Buffalo, NY, was a 1949 Amherst High School graduate, drummer in multiple bands, and active in sports. He lettered in Soccer and was an integral part of the Track and Field team. His events included the high jump, discus and the broad jump. Charles was nicknamed the "broad jump king" because he set the schools record at 20'8" during his junior year. Charlie met his wife, Dee, in high school when her family moved in two doors down. They were married just days before he left for the Army in 1951. They were blessed with a long and happy 62-year marriage, along with their two daughters - Pam and Tina. Both Charlie and Dee were lifelong golfers and 20-plus year members of the East Aurora Country Club, with respectable handicaps. Charlie held several senior level championships and had occasion to get two holes in one at other local courses.

After being drafted in 1951, Charlie spent two years in Germany working as an orderly at the 97th General Hospital in Frankfurt. He also served as a carpenter, athletic counselor for soldiers' dependents, and underwent training in the Bavarian Alps. Between graduating high school and being drafted, Charlie apprenticed as a carpenter with Jim Marrano, which started a lifelong relationship with the Marrano family. In 1956, he along with 5 Marrano brothers formed the Marrano Construction Company, which ultimately evolved into Marrano Enterprise, Inc. - builders of many housing communities around WNY. He officially retired in 1979, but was always in demand from family and friends for for one project or another. He also continued to consult for the next 20+ years when it didn't interfere with his golf, travel or spending time with friends and family. Charlie's life was well lived; he set example for all those that knew him. He was well loved, something we would all be fortunate to be. Charles, Charlie, Uncle Chuck, Grandpa, Dad, you will be deeply missed and well remembered in the skills and stories you have left us with.

Beloved husband of the late Diane G. (Bell) Oddo; dearest father of Tina M. (Ralph) Lauricella and the late Pamela S. Rutecki (Darryl White); grandfather of Katherine, Sydney Lauricella and Taylor Lauricella (George Leon), Jason (Lauren) and Mark (Jennifer) Rutecki; great-grandfather of Trey, Weston, Mason, Ryan and Justin; loving son of the late Carl and Lillian (Watson) Oddo; brother of Jean (Joseph) Oddo and the late Carl (Joan) Oddo Jr. and Robert (Gerry) Oddo; also survived by nieces and nephews.
