More detail on this person: Charles Priestley
Inman Jr. PRINCETON - On March 20, 2014, the
LORD called Charles Priestley Inman Jr., 67, known
as "CP", "Chuck" and "Guppy," home. Chuck
perished in a vehicle accident close to his home
in Princeton, NJ. The accident also severely
injured his wife, Pamela B. Inman, who is still
recovering from her injuries. Chuck was born on
Aug. 26, 1946, in Richmond, VA, to Charles P.
Inman Sr. and Evelyn Rose Inman. He was a highly
decorated US Army veteran and served with
distinction from 1967 - 1968 in Vietnam, where he
flew OH-13 helicopters as a CWO in the B Troop
1/9 Cavalry under the call sign White 18. He was
shot down in February 1968 and spent the next two
years recovering in Walter Reed. He earned a
Silver Star, a Purple Heart, an Air Medal, and
numerous other medals for his service. After his
discharge from the Army, Chuck married the love of
his life, Pamela Elaine Buss, on Aug. 29, 1970.
They were married for almost 44 years at the time
of his death. Chuck earned his undergraduate
degree in accounting from the University of
Richmond and a master's from the University of
Texas in Austin, and went on to become a CPA.
Chuck and Pam's son, Charles P. Inman, III
(Charlie), was born March 3, 1975. Chuck taught
accounting at the Universities of Texas at
Houston, Miami, and Richmond, as well as Averett
College. In addition, he worked for Ernst and
Whinney, founded his own accounting practice,
worked as the operations and finance vice
president for a national paint manufacturing
company, and later returned to his hometown of
Richmond to run his family's business (Charles E.
Brauer Co.) in Richmond in 1985. Most recently, he
founded South River Personnel & Management
Services that serves MoMA in New York City and is
the founder of Battle Against Hunger, a charity
that raises funds for hunger relief among the
neediest citizens of some New Jersey and
Pennsylvania's communities, in accordance with
Matthew 25:40. Most importantly, Chuck loved life
and the LORD and all who knew him should have
comfort knowing that he is with Jesus
face-to-face. He lived life to its fullest, and
tried to love his neighbor as himself. Chuck is
survived by his wife, Pam, and their son, Charlie,
along with his wife Katie, daughter Sydney (5) and
son Andrew (2). He is also survived by his sister,
Carol Inman Novak of Rockville, MD. Chuck will be
