Owen (Charlie) Benoit, aged 95, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 16, 2025. Born in Nova Scotia, Charlie moved to Sudbury in 1952 to start a family and begin what became a proud 37-year career with INCO.

A devoted Papa, he is survived by grandchildren Lindsay (Luc), Mark (predeceased), Chad (Brittany), and Brandon (Kayla.) He was also blessed with great-grandchildren who brought him immense joy: Owen, Olivia, Greyson, Remy, Charlotte, Samuel, and Bowman.
He is survived by his sisters Bea, Dolores, and Pauline, and predeceased by his brothers Tony, Walter, Everett, Jerome, Ronaldo, and Lloyd. He will also be missed by many nieces and nephews who held him dearly.
Charlie will be greatly missed by dear friends Janet and Sue, whose companionship enriched his life over many years.
His legacy continues to live on in all who knew and loved him.
A Celebration of Charlie’s Life will be held in the Common Room at the Chartwell Meadowbrook Retirement Residence, 18 Jacobson Drive, Lively on Sunday, November 30, 2025, between 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM.

Aunt Theresa, Brian and Debbie,
So sorry to hear about Uncle Charlie’s passing.
Although much time has passed since last I saw him, I will always remember the laughter and story telling when all the brothers got together. Uncle Charlie was always the calm, soft-spoken one.
I believe that when we lose someone close to us, they continue to live on through us and give us strength.
He will be missed.
Rest in Peace Uncle Charlie.
Claire (Benoit) and Laurier

Aunt Teresa, Brian and Debbie
Jack and I were very saddened to hear of Uncle Charlie’s passing. We remember with fondness, our stay at your home when we travelled west with mom and dad.
Also, as a young adventurer, my friends and I stayed with you in 1975 when we “headed west”.
Uncle Charlie and Aunt Theresa were always welcoming.
You will miss him for sure. May he rest in peace.
Love and prayers
