Charles Louis Tieman, 86, of Hillsboro, died Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012 at Highland District Hospital with his wife and son by his side.
He was born Jan. 5, 1926 in Chicago, the son of the late Thaddeus William and Mary Eugenia (Campbell) Tieman.
He is survived by his loving wife of over 62 years, Anne Bradstreet (Wilson) Tieman of Hillsboro; a son, Michael A. (Patricia) Tieman, also of Hillsboro; and granddaughter, Stephanie R. Tieman of Plymouth, Mich.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and an infant daughter, Kristin Karen Tieman.
He was a graduate of Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati, and received his master's degree in education from Xavier University. He was a drafting instructor and licensed professional counselor at Live Oaks Vocational School in Milford or many years as well as a teacher probation officer for Hamilton County Juvenile Court.
He had a love for working with young people, and also had served as a Cub Scout master and 4-H adviser. A mechanical design engineer for many years prior to teaching, he continued to
be an avid designer during his retirement years, building and running modified-class quarter scale pulling tractors along with his son. An aviation enthusiast, he particularly enjoyed his time at the controls of Piper Cub aircraft, always saying, "Low and slow is the way to go."
He was a World War II combat veteran who served in Europe with the U.S. Army 63rd ("Blood and Fire") Infantry Division. He was awarded the Bronze Star and, along with his regiment, the 253rd, a Presidential Unit Citation. He retired from the U.S. Army Reserve as a captain.
Graveside services will be held on Monday, Feb. 6 at 1 p.m. at the Hillsboro Cemetery with the Reverend Judi A. Wiley officiating.
Memorials may be made to the charity of one’s choice.
