MACKENZIE - Sunday - May 19, 2002 Yakima - It is difficult to summarize my husband's life in a few paragraphs, but I will attempt it here, in order to bring some comfort to all who loved him. At home on the sunny morning of April 23, 2002 Chuck was suddenly taken down with a burst abdominal aorta aneurysm and after successful emergency surgery by Yakima's finest surgeons, Justin Robinson and Samuel Gridley, he was able to survive this massive assault to his body until May 7, 2002. I was beside him and our son Chuck and daughter Janice were near. He took God's outstretched hand and went peacefully home. Chuck was so loved and respected in his long, successful career in pupil transportation, first as Shop Foreman and then Supervisor of Transportation for Shoreline School District in Seattle, then coming here to Yakima in 1974 as Regional Transportation Coordinator for ESD 105. He was one of the Founding Fathers of WAPT (Washington Association of Pupil Transportation) until he retired in 1993. We did take a detour in the late '50s to try the country life as orchardists in Omak. So many loving friendships were formed there, but it was not the life for this city boy and when Shoreline executives came calling him back, we readily went. Chuck loved to tell the story of how we met, so I'll repeat it for him here. He moved from Berkeley, CA with his parents to Wenatchee as a teenager in 1943. We met in August...I went to high school and he went into the Navy as Motor Machinist Mate Third Class, returning in 1946. We were married on Aug. 21, 1947. We were blessed with three children—a daughter, Janice and two sons, Steve and Chuck (Jr.) and three grandchildren, Jennifer, Kenneth and David. Chuck was and is The Love of My Life! His wishes would be that any loving memorials be made to ALS research in memory of our son Steve, who passed away June 16, 1999 of Lou Gehrig's Disease.
