Uncle Charlie was certainly a great man who will be missed very much. If there was a machine broken, he knew how to fix it. His many years as janitor at New Berlin school showed his love for being around kids, his and everybody else's. RIP

I vaguely knew Charlie thru Victory Mkts, New Berlin. Knew him better thru his wife but his kids, especially, Deb (Duane), Charlie, Rick and Bill who only had their work ethic instilled from Dad and Mom. From his age he lived a good life, enjoying New Berlin as I did. Although he is gone you carry him always in your heart.
Please know your family is in my thoughts and prayers, loosing anyone, especially a parent is never easy.
