Charles W. Kalil, 87 of Bartlett, NH, passed away on Wednesday, April 8, 2026 at his residence surrounded by family. He was born on February 19, 1939 in Lawrence, MA, as the son of the late Charles Arthur Kalil and Adeline Martel Kalil.

Chuck was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather who was happily married for 67 years to Brenda Bossie Kalil. Chuck is survived by his wife Brenda, three children, Lynn Kalil, Lisa Kalil, Charles Kalil and his wife Christina and four grandchildren, Calvin and Colton Kalil, Farrah, Sarah, a great granddaughter, Isla, and soon to be born any day a baby girl named Leila, along with many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his two sisters Joan Dearborn and Patricia Blanchard.

Chuck spent his early years in Hudson, NH where he raised his family. He was passionate about outdoor life, Native American ways, farming, fishing and he loved wildlife. He started his Fish & Game Farm in Hudson during the early 60’s raising exotic wildlife, including ducks, swans, birds, rabbits and chickens. He also had ponies, horses, sheep, pigs and dogs.

In 1979 he moved to Bartlett, NH where he continued his Fish & Game Farm raising red deer, peacocks, emus and trout for many years. From a young age, he was always a very curious, clever and skilled man with a host of self-taught talents that included real estate investment, master plumber, surveyor, septic designer and installer, abstract investigator and many more.

Chuck spent many years fishing the Saco and Androscoggin Rivers of the Great North Woods of New Hampshire (God’s Country) with the eagles, moose, deer and bear. These were some of his favorite places where he loved to be.

Over the years Chuck built a beautiful family estate along the Saco River for his future generations to enjoy. He was truly one of a kind, a real family man. Chuck was a very captivating individual that so many will not soon forget with an incredible ability to tell a story, knowledgeable in many subjects and have an educational conversation with anyone he met. He was a loyal friend, mentor, and family patriarch to many people throughout his life and is survived by that legacy.

A private celebration of life will be held with family at a later date.

Assisting the family with arrangements is the Cremation Society of NH, Manchester.
