Chuck was in the Army for the Berlin Crisis. He was a member of the American Legion Post 19, serving in the Honor Guard for many years. Chuck had his private pilot’s license, jumped out of a perfectly good airplane, was an avid machinist, and could make equipment do amazing things.
He was united in marriage to Barbara (Brooke) on June 27, 1959. They were best friends throughout. He was Dad and role model to daughter, Kathy; father-in-law to Kurt Polzin of Lincoln, grandpa to Alex (his legacy and special mowing buddy) of Lincoln, brother Bill Kaiser Grand Island, NE, niece Barby Myers of Claremore, OK and special family Ann and Ben Kirkpatrick of York. He is also survived by many friends through the years, and those he did business with, which allowed him to establish lifetime relationships throughout the community.
Chuck was preceded in death by his parents, Salvester (SC) and Esther (Fritzler) Kaiser, in-laws Laverne and Alice Brooke, brother and sister-in law, Dick and Joyce Brooke, great-niece Kylie Brooke Jobe, and his grandson Austin Charles (who is now learning how to drive equipment like his brother Alex).
Chuck could always be counted on for guidance and support, to lend an ear or advice, and for solid integrity.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday from 1-8 pm with family greeting friends that evening from 6-7:30 pm at the mortuary in York.
