It is with great sorrow that we say goodbye to our Founding Father, our beloved Dr. Charles Louden who passed away on April 20, 2020.
His intellect, humility, compassion, and kindness to entire families of Marblehead and it surrounding towns will not be forgotten. Our entire staff, past and present, will always remember him for his fairness, soft spoken words, and generosity.
Dr. Louden always encouraged parents to read to their children and was an avid reader himself. In May 2018, his wife Peggy established the Dr. Charles M. Louden Children’s Book Fund in honor of her husband’s 84th birthday. If you wish to contribute to the fund, checks should be made out to the Town of Marblehead Abbott Public Library, with “Dr. Charles M. Louden Children’s Book Fund” written in the notation.
Also, if you wish to send expressions of condolences to his family, they can be addressed to our office and will be forwarded to his family:
