Together they had one son, Scott.  Chuck was a very talented man with a great sense of humor.  He loved to sketch and paint, mostly of the places he had traveled.  Chuck and Earleen loved to travel.  He was an avid contributor to Central Michigan University.    He and Earleen were married for 48 wonderful years.  After Earleen's death in 1997, Chuck entered the Kane family when he and his second love, Suzanne Kane, were married at Sacred Heart Church on August 20, 1999. It was a second marriage for both, having been widowed many years prior.  They were like teenagers in love, holding hands, having fun together.  They also traveled extensively, played bridge, and spent summer days at the cottage on Blue Lake that Chuck had built in his younger years.  Chuck is survived by his daughter in-law, Sue Vannorsdall of Hortonville, WI; granddaughter, Kim (Rob) Rice of Oshkosh, WI; five step children, Pattie (Mark) Wampler of Chesterfield Township, Maureen (Max) Machuta of Traverse City, Daniel (Jean) Kane of Mt.
