In Memory
Chuck passed away peacefully on April 19 in Bloomington, Minn. He is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Nancy; son Chuck Jr. ’85 and wife Karin; daughter Ann ’87; and grandchildren Elise, Jennifer and Peter.
Chuck was raised in Edina, Minn., graduating from Edina High School in 1953. He was a three-sport athlete and is a member of the Edina High School Athletic Hall of Fame. At Amherst, he majored in economics, dabbled in football and baseball for a year or two, and was a Beta.
After Amherst, he served in the U.S. Navy from 1958 to 1961 in Okinawa, the Philippines and Washington. While home on break from the Navy, Chuck met Nancy Bateman on a blind date in 1958 and courted her through daily letters. They married in June 1960 and returned to Minnesota in 1961, when Chuck started his career in the trust department of First National Bank. During these early years before starting a family, he got MBA from the University of Minnesota and his CFA.
Chuck had an enjoyable 57-year career in money management, retiring from Webster Partners in 2018 at age 83. He was a man of faith and lived his life with integrity, humility and deep love for his family. Chuck had a close-knit group of friends from high school and Amherst, and he treasured these relationships throughout his life. He was an avid reader and loved to travel, especially with Nancy to Europe and New York City and to the frequent Beta reunions in beautiful locations throughout the country.
