The Greenfield Recorder reports that Charles Housen, a three-decade CEO of Erving Industries, died April 4 in his home in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. He was 87 years old. Housen was known primarily for leading Erving Industries through a long period of prosperity. The paper company had been in the Housen family since 1927. At that time, Charles’ uncle, Morris, had been working for Holyoke Savings Bank, and was asked to take a leadership role in a young company called Erving Mills, which had been bought by a group of investors in 1916. Morris and his brother, David — Housen’s father — took ownership of the company soon after.
