Berchel Eads Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Berchel Edward Eads of Scott Depot, WV passed away on February 9, 2013 at the age of 90. He was a graduate of Charleston High School and married soon afterward. He served from 1943 ? 1945 with the Army 91st Photo Recon Wing in several South Pacific campaigns. After the war, Berch worked as an insurance adjuster into the early 60?s and decided to strike out on his own. He established Claims Service Company and built it into the largest independent adjusting agency in the state. After selling the business, he built homes for a few years and eventually returned to adjusting up until his retirement. Berch enjoyed the outdoors and hard work. In a past life he may well have been a lumberjack as he loved to run his chain saws. He always enjoyed fishing, particularly with his son Mike in the Thousands Islands region of New York. He spent the last 10 years caring for his beloved wife up until her recent passing. Berch was truly one of a kind and will be missed.

The family would like to thank the friends and neighbors on Hillsdale Circle for their kindness and support. A private graveside service will be scheduled.
