Charles C. Jolley

Picture
     Charles C. Jolley, originally from Troy, passed away on May 24th, 2018
​    He had many ‘adventures’ while in Troy. Many were substantiated by his partners in crime and most were denied by Charlie. Those that can remember the event, or have read the newspaper accounts, wonder who scaled the smoke stack in Troy on Halloween to light a lantern. Speculation had it that Charlie was the ‘the intrepid lad’.  After many years Charlie finally admitted it was he.     In fact he climbed it twice. Once with the lantern and then again with the matches required to light it since he’d forgotten them on the first trip up the stack. After Korea he settled in Orlando and was a successful accountant and father.
