Charles Amereihn ObituaryObituary published on Legacy.com by Ruck Towson Funeral Home, Inc. on Mar. 9, 2026.Charles Amereihn ObituaryBorn November 18,1937 and died February 28, 2026Charles Amereihn, known to his family as Bunky, of Baltimore MD, Damascus MD and Fort Pierce, Florida, passed away peacefully on February 28, 2026. He was 35 years old with an additional 53 years of experience.Even though Charlie could be quiet, he found great joy in making people laugh, when they least expected it. Throughout his life he fancied women who loved to talk, laugh and travel. His mom, "Mag" Amereihn (nee Flanagan, deceased), gave him his Irish heritage and humor, and taught him how to steam crabs. His youngest sibling and only sister, Peggy Behrendt (nee Amereihn), inherited the Irish "gift of gab" and the two of them could talk and laugh together forever. Married to Frannie Amereihn (nee Cassell, deceased) for 44 years, they raised three children, 1 horse, a dozen chickens, a mean rooster, rabbits and two dogs. Once they retired, they traveled extensively, not caring about the three children, 1 horse, a dozen chickens, a mean rooster, rabbits, two dogs and four acres to mow. They returned home frequently to see THE one and only grandchild and bring her along on their trips, leaving behind the children, horse, chickens, etc., NEW lawn mower and four acres. After Frannie's death, Bunky's desire to never again mow four acres of land, or shovel snow, but play golf constantly, propelled him to Florida where he met his main squeeze for the past 20 years, Jeanne Frieswick. They traveled the country by car, with Atlas maps, their GPS named Alice (and still got lost), but found their way home somehow, laughing, with tons of stories and a bazillion unique Christmas presents.Bunky taught his children Tina, Chuck and Mary the most important things in life: how to ice skate, throw a baseball (not like a girl), drive the lawn mower (now we know why), make huge snow igloos and make homemade donuts. He taught us to respect people, how important timing is when delivering a joke and when to be quiet.His favorite hobby was picking on his granddaughter Heather and traveling with her. He taught her it was okay to exceed the speed limit, significantly, only when playing the license plate game, how to fish (and sleep) at the same time, crack open a steamed crab, eat cheerios properly and cheat at 500 Rummy.He was a proud member of the Amereihn brothers' club where he and his brothers Joey, Jimmy and Billy (Amereihn, all deceased) yelled about everything they shouldn't during holidays: politics, sports, religion, money, you name it... And 20 minutes later they would all be laughing hysterically.Charlie took enormous pride in the fact he worked for General Electric his entire career and guilted everyone in the family into buying GE appliances. He is a veteran of the Army, as a paratrooper, but somehow ended up playing baseball for the Army baseball team. He, along with his father Elmer "Shorty" Amereihn (deceased) rooted for the Orioles their entire lives.Bunky had a lifelong love affair with double stuffed Oreos, Peppermint Patties and Boston Cream pie. He loved to sing but sounded like a dying walrus (and he knew it). He kept singing, to torture us.He kept us laughing constantly and loved life.The family will receive friends at Ruck Funeral Home in Townson, Maryland on March 21st at 10am. A memorial serivce will follow at 11am in the funeral home chapel.In lieu of flowers please stop by a Dunkin Donuts and have a cup of coffee and Boston Cream donut in honor of Charles/Charlie/Bunky (…or whatever you called him).If you would like to make a monetary donation, please consider donating to the VNA (Visiting Nurses Association) 920 37th Place #101, Vero Beach, FL 32960He will be forever loved and forever missed.To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
