Chuck was preceded in death by his father, Elroy Bublitz; mother, Carol Bublitz; and brother, Paul. We remember Chuck in the many ways he showed his love for the Lord. He was a devoted husband, loving father, adoring grandpa, dear brother and treasured friend. Working in the family restaurant, he touched so many lives with his cheerful smile and giving attitude. In church he was the loudest singer and faithful servant to others in Christ. His favorite things to do were working, playing, telling stories, motorcycling, snowmobiling and spending time Up North goofing off with his family and friends. He was always energetic, cracking jokes and quick with a smile. His love for Jesus was apparent every day. We are grateful to have had a great example of a Christian husband, father and grandpa and we patiently wait to be reunited with him in heaven. Because of current restrictions, a private service will be held for Chuck’s family at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Lomira.
