Dr. Charles McLochlin
Avon Park, Fla. – Oct. 6, 2023 – The Dr. Charles McLochlin Memorial Fund was recently established through the estate of Dr. McLochlin as a donation to the SFSC Foundation. Those funds will be unrestricted and used to support the College and its students.
According to Dr. McLochlin’s niece, Pamela Karlson, he was a lifelong learner. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Engineering from Purdue University and a doctoral degree from the University of Florida in 1989. He later received recognition from the faculty of Johns Hopkins University for continuing his education in Engineering. He worked most of his adult life for the National Security Agency. Dr. McLochlin was interested in the mechanics of flight and built and flew many experimental aircraft, such as ultralights. Until a month before his passing in July 2023, he was enrolled in classes at Broward College to become an aircraft mechanic so he could work on and certify his own aircraft engines.
“He placed a great deal of importance on education in his life and wanted others to do the same,” Karlson said. “So why leave his estate to SFSC? It all comes down to relationships. When going through his papers, he had countless letters and invitations from Don Applequist, the former executive director of the SFSC Foundation; Jamie Bateman, SFSC vice president for institutional advancement and external affairs; and SFSC President Emeritus Dr. Thomas Leitzel to attend functions and be a part of the SFSC culture. I believe it was this constant contact, communication, and genuine caring that ultimately caused my uncle to choose SFSC as the predominant beneficiary of his estate.”
“Dr. McLochlin has been a long-standing donor to the SFSC Foundation,” Bateman said. “To be named in his estate as the beneficiary and carry on his legacy, is an honor and privilege. We are thankful to him and his family for their continued support and are currently working on honoring his name and contribution in a way that will fulfill his legacy.”
To leave a legacy such as Dr. McLochlin’s, consider speaking with your attorney to draft a will or trust naming the SFSC Foundation as a beneficiary. For more information, call the SFSC Foundation at 863-453-3133 or email foundation@southflorida.edu.
