Charlie was born in Candor on June 13, 1938, a son
of the late Harry and Mary Cherwak. His family moved to Lodi, and
his parents died untimely deaths while he was still a teenager. He
was able to obtain the family farm, where he farmed crops and raised
beef cattle until the time of his recent illness. Charlie loved the
peacefulness of his farm, and found joy in tending to his cows,
having the "know how" to repair his own machinery and his time spent
with his family.
He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Martha; a son, Charles G.
(Rebecca) Cherwak of Lodi; his sisters in law, Sally (John) Hubbard
and Mary Gregg; and his nieces and nephews. Charlie was recently
preceded in death by his brother, Harry Cherwak of Bloomfield, MI. |
