Charles was a member of Faith Lutheran Church. He was a man of deep Faith which served as the foundation of his life. Mary Jo was the love of his life. With three quiet squeezes of their entwined hands, they spoke "I love you" to one another. Their love served as a textbook for how to live the wedding vows they spoke to one another 62 years ago. His life was lived simply and authentically, based in his deep love of family. His family was the pride and joy, and with Mary by his side, family was all he needed to be happy in life. If he could make someone smile or laugh, he considered it a successful moment. He was an engineer by trade with a mind that never stopped problem solving and creating. He enjoyed golfing, boating, old cars, air shows and snowmobiling. He loved to tinker with cars and was known to be a "Jack of all trades". He will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00am on Thursday, January 7, 2021 at Faith Lutheran Church, 3501 E. Highland Road. Please understand that the church capacity is limited to 75, due to the size of the "immediate and extended family" we would be honored to have friends join us in remembrance of Chuck via live stream https://www.faithhighland.com/behr. You may also offer your heartfelt condolences on this website. Thank you in advance for respecting these wishes.
