Obituary of Charles F Nealis

Charles F. Nealis passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 17, 2024. He was born and raised in Vineland, NJ, and graduated from Sacred Heart High School, Class of 1977. Charles graduated from Kutztown University and soon after joined the work force as a salesman. Using his gift for developing relationships, he continued in sales for over 30 plus years. He worked in the produce industry, serving in various roles as director of operations, vice-president of sales and operations, business manager, and vice-president of sales and marketing with various companies. Charles was always an avid Minnesota Vikings fan, and after many years of moving to various states, he ended up living in Minnesota for the last 5 ½ years. However, he never forgot his roots in Vineland. He will be remembered as a leader in his industry and a mentor with exceptional communication skills. If you met him, you would be touched by his contagious smile and wonderful sense of humor. He was the life of our family parties, and always managed to hold a sing-along with his nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his father, Charles J. Nealis, his mother, Marilyn M. Nealis, his brother- in-law, Stephen Quinn, his brother, Michael C. Nealis, and his sister, Linda C. Nealis Quinn. Charles was a devoted husband and is survived by his wife Diane (nee Woodrow), his brothers, David F. (Barbara) Nealis, Robert C. (Nancy) Nealis, his sister, Patricia (Anthony) Pustizzi, and his sister-in-law, Lynn Nealis, as well as many nieces and nephews.
