Calvin "Charlie" Pelton, 73, of Avon
died Sunday, February 7, 2010 at St. Michael's Hospital in Tyndall. His funeral service will be 10:00 am Thursday, February 11, 2010 at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Avon, with burial in the Trinity Presbyterian Cemetery, rural Avon.

Calvin Charles "Charlie" Pelton was born August 9, 1936 in rural Avon, South Dakota, the son of Wayne and Viola (Deurmier) Pelton. He died Sunday, February 7, 2010 at St. Michael's Hospital in Tyndall, SD. Charlie attained the age of 73 years, five months and 29 days.
Charlie began school at Myrtle Country School and graduated from the eighth grade at Mawhinney Country School.
Charlie worked as a farmer with his parents and was briefly employed at Morgan's in Yankton and the Human Services Center in Yankton. He moved into Avon in 1971, where he worked odd jobs, but was best known for hauling trash and leaves and mowing lawns.
Charlie's greatest joy was working with horses on the farm. He was always ready to talk about Sam, Dick, Florrie, Charlie and Butte. They were great memories for him. After moving into Avon, he was seen in his green pickup, speeding around town. Those who knew him always knew he would let them pass him up if they were in a hurry.
Charlie entered the Wagner Good Samaritan Society in February of 2002. He transferred to the Tyndall Good Samaritan Society on October 31, 2005. Charlie will be remembered for his "tooling around" in his wheel chair and keeping people on their toes.
Thankful for sharing his life are his two brothers, Larry and wife Charmaine and Ron and wife Linda, all of Avon; four sisters: Evelyn Knoll and Myrtle Reiff, both of Avon; Betty Sandau and husband Lawrence of Tripp; and Carol Draughon and husband, Lattie of Springfield; sister-in-law, Judy Pelton of Avon; and many nieces, nephews, and great nieces and great nephews.
Charlie was preceded in death by his parents; brother Donald Pelton; two brothers-in-law: Edgar Knoll and Raymond Reiff; two nephews: Jerry Knoll and James Reiff; and great nephew, Chadrick Haire.
