Charles was born Oct. 16, 1934, in Wausau to the loving parents Emil and Goldie Huehnerfuss. Charles attended school in Birnamwood and Wausau. Following school, he entered the U.S. Army, serving from 1955-57 in Texas. He then attended the Milwaukee School of Engineering.

On March 1, 1958, he was united in marriage to Helen Erickson in Milwaukee. They then moved to Green Bay for 14 years until relocating to Shawano, where Charles spent the rest of his golden years.

Until we meet again. All our love,
