Charles Louis Measter

Charles Louis Measter, 76, known to all as Charlie, and to some of his friends as Charliepedia due to his seemingly vast knowledge, died unexpectedly after a prolonged illness on January 9, 2019. He was born in Brooklyn, NY and was a graduate of St. Francis College, Columbia University, and St. John’s School of Law. He resided on Seabrook Island, SC for the past twelve years.

Charlie spent his entire career in the international shipping business, mainly as the principal of Measter & Partners, Cargo and Shipbrokers, and as an international maritime arbitrator. He was a member of the Society of Maritime Arbitrators in New York and the London Maritime Arbitrators Association. He loved every moment of what he did.

Surviving him is his ever loving wife, Barbara, his stepsons, Thomas M. Perdiue of Charleston and James M. Perdiue of Trophy Club, TX, his daughter in law Andrea F. Perdiue, and his grandchildren, JJ and Matt Perdiue of Trophy Club. He loved them all and did everything he could for every one of them as a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather and they will miss him forever. He also leaves his brother in law and sister in law Stephen R. Elston and Cymie R. Payne of Princeton, NJ and many, many friends, in the Charleston area and all over the world. He was greatly loved and will be greatly missed.
