Charles D. "Charlie" Maund

Charles D. "Charlie" Maund, 75, of Austin died Sunday, Dec. 1, 2002. Born Feb. 3, 1927, in Hemphill, he had made his home in Austin since 1957. Maund was the definition of a self-made man. He possessed a sixth sense when it came to business. Starting out with very little at the age of 19, he bought and sold used cars for several years before acquiring his first new car dealership in Pt. Arthur at the age of 26. He turned 30 in 1957 and moved to Austin opening Charles Maund Oldsmobile-Cadillac. Maund worked hard and put in countless hours building a thriving business that allowed him to become a multi-dealership owner by acquiring a handful of dealerships long before the idea of a "mega dealer" came about. Charlie set a multitude of records, received countless awards and accolades in the automobile business.

Maund enjoyed his life, loved people and treasured his sisters, his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Charlie was a licensed jet pilot, an accomplished sportsman who loved to fish and hunt. He was a Texas rancher and cattleman who loved spending time at ranches with friends and family. University of Texas football was a passion; Charlie and Coach Royal were good friends for many years as were many of the UT athletic department staff during Coach Royal's tenure.

His wife and best friend, Helen Lang Maund, to whom he was wed for 47 years, preceded him in death. He was also predeceased by brothers Harry Maund and Belmont Maund and sisters Thelma FELTS and Wilhemina CROWELL. Survivors; sons and daughters-in-law, Doug and Janis MAUND and Mark and Patti MAUND; grandchildren, Jennifer Maund, Megan Maund, Erik Maund and wife, Sheri, Lindsey Maund, Adam Maund, and Ashley Maund; great-granchildren, Preston Charles Maund and Hannah Mckenzie Maund; sisters, Lillian CORDRAY, Mabel SHERMAN, Dorothy FELTS, and Ann McCLAIN.
