Charles Harry Maniscalco

Charles "Chuck" Maniscalco, 95, of St. Augustine, Florida, passed away peacefully on May 6, 2026, of natural causes. Born on March 4, 1931, in Norristown, Pennsylvania, Chuck lived a full and vibrant life that touched everyone fortunate enough to cross his path. The youngest of his large family, Chuck was a standout all-around athlete during his school years in Norristown, where he also met the love of his life, Elaine. The two sweethearts married and shared just shy of 70 wonderful years together. After serving his country in the United States Army, Chuck returned home and owned and operated the family grocery store in Norristown before making the move to Florida in 1957. Once in St. Augustine, he became a fixture in the community, owning and operating The Flamingo Bar and later Amigos Barber Shop, where he earned a reputation as an accomplished stylist. But anyone who really knew Chuck knew that his biggest passion was his time spent at the stables and his rodeo days riding bulls and broncs. His love for horses ran deep, and that cowboy spirit never left him. Known as Pop-Pop to many, Chuck never met a stranger. He was loved by all, and his stories captured everyone's heart. He had a gift for making people feel like they had known him their whole lives, and his warmth and generosity were impossible to forget. Chuck was a dedicated member of Cathedral Parish, where he served as Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus during the 1965 renovation of the Cathedral. He later joined St. Ambrose Parish. He was also a driving force behind the yearly Heart Fund Golf Tournament and always gave his time to those who needed help. A man of deep and abiding faith, Chuck lived his life in service to others, trusting in the Lord's grace every step of the way. He now rests in the arms of his Savior, reunited with his beloved wife, Elaine, and Charles, their infant son who preceded him in death. Chuck is survived by his daughter, Bonne Jones, SON- in law Greg, granddaughter Lauren Giles, her husband Scott, great grandsons, Taylor & Drew and countless friends and loved ones who will carry his memory forward. A memorial Mass will be held at St. Ambrose Parish on Friday, May 15, at 11:am., with a celebration of life to follow. Bust out your favorite boots, hats, denim, and western wear to celebrate a life well lived for our cowboy. Come ready to share a story or two, because that is exactly what Chuck (POP-POP) would have wanted
