Charles R. Tasco

Charles R. "Chap" Tasco, 70, of Kenhorst, died August 9, 2010 in the Reading Hospital and Medical Center.

Born in West Reading, he was the son of the late Charles and Sandra (Patterson) Tasco.

Charles was a graduate of Girard College, Philadelphia.

He worked for Textile Machine Works, Reading, from 1959 to 1970 and for the past 40 years he has been working in construction. In recent years he has assisted his son, Kevin, at Tasco Remodeling.

Charles was much loved by his family and friends, and he reciprocated that love by always being willing to help his neighbor. He was good with his hands and enjoyed working on cuckoo clocks. He was a perfectionist and was very punctual. He loved his morning coffee.
