Charles A. Kaufman, was called to his heavenly home on Thursday, February 1, 2018.
Chuck was born on March 30, 1928 to Joseph and Lorraine (Dunsirn) Kaufman. On February 9, 1957 Chuck was united in marriage to Lorraine Wolosek at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Appleton. He was a veteran having served in the US Army in Korea. Chuck worked at Schaeffer Dairy and then at Automotive Supply for over 50 years. He loved singing and praying for everyone daily. He enjoyed working on cars and washing them every Saturday. Chuck was Mr. Fix it and enjoyed trips around the state with his loving wife Lorraine and trips to casinos in their later years. He was active in his church at St. Bernadette where he was an usher and enjoyed praising God through song. Chuck had a strong faith and God was always first in his life.
Chuck and Lorraine were always busy going from house to house celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and get-togethers. He had a fabulous memory and often told stories of his life as he was growing up. These stories are now woven into the lives of his family and the times they spent together will always be cherished.
