Chuck was a lover of nature, animals, and even to his last days, had a curiosity and a desire to learn that was not stunted by his many health issues. He was a devoted husband, proud father, and “goofy” grandpa to his four grandchildren.

He is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and special friends Harold Paul, John Gent and Russ Furumasu. As was his request, his dog “Lily” has found a good home with Kendra and Marchello.
He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, James Jackson.
There will be a Memorial Service for Chuck on Saturday, June 8 at 11:00 a.m. at the Phillip Funeral Home, 1420 W. Paradise Dr., West Bend, WI with Rev. Jenny Arneson officiating.
