Charles Steckel, Ex-Sand Firm President, Dies
Operated Business With Brother more Than 50 years
Charles C. Steckel, 86, retired president of the Steckel Sand
and Gravel Co., Phillipsburg, died yesterday morning at this
home at 34 Cattell St., Easton. He had been ill for the last
year.
Mr. Steckel and his brother, Walter L. Steckel who died in
1953, operated the sand and gravel business for more than 50
years. They branched in the ready-mixed concrete business and
traded under the slogan "Pioneers in Ready-Mix Concrete" which
was originated by Mr. Steckel. In 1948 he sold his interests
in the firm to his nephews who now conduct the business under
the name Steckel Concrete Co.
The company's gravel pits, offices and concrete bulk mixing
plant are along North Broad Street, Phillipsburg. The firm
at on time maintained business offices on Bushkill Drive, Easton,
and in the former Easton Trust Building.
Born Aug 3, 1878, in Raubsville, Mr. Steckel was a son of
the late William and Mary T. Hildenbrand Steckel.
He was a life member of Easton Elks Lodge 121, and a member
of the Lymen's Home Missionary Movement, Philadelphia.
Surviving are his widow, the former Lucy Casamassa; four daughters,
Miss Helen Steckel, Mrs. Mildred Lewis and Mrs. Marian Yomtob,
all of Van Nuys, Calif., and Ruth, wife of Russell Reimel Easton;
a son, Claude (Jimmy) Steckel, Phillipsburg, a sister, Miss
Maude Steckel, Easton; five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
His first wife, Irene M. Day Steckel died in 1942, and a son,
Willard A. Steckel, died in 1956.
The funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday in the Strunk
Funeral Home, Easton. Memorial rites will be conducted by the
Easton Elks Lodge at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the funeral home. |
