Charles M. Perock

1932 - 2014

Perock, Charles M. February 13, 2014, surrounded by his family, Charlie found peace at the age of 81 after a courageous battle with cancer. He is the loving husband of Joan (nee Schultz) of 59 1/2 years. Devoted father of Pamela (Tim) Larson, Debra (Craig) Sipola, and Charles Jr. (Carrie) Perock. Dear brother of Cheryl (Jack) Schweitzer. Proudest Papa of Amanda, Brad, Taylor, Emma, Ryan, Carly, and Hunter. Charlie is further survived by many wonderful nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. He is preceded in death by his sister Patricia (Carl) Koch, and parents Charles and Fern. Charlie was born on May 27, 1932. He graduated from Nathan Hale High School, Class of 1950 and served in the U.S. Army. He was a devoted employee of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal Company for over 35 years as a carpenter. Charlie had a heart as big as the great outdoors. The only thing bigger was his love of family and friends. He enjoyed fishing, woodworking, playing cards, cribbage, and spending time at the cabin and in Florida. He had a great sense of humor and could tell a great story. Papa was the #1 fan in the stands of all of his grandchildren's sporting events. As per his wishes, Charlie will be cremated with a private celebration of his life at a later date. A special thank you to the McCarthy family for their never ending support throughout Charlie's illness. It was much appreciated. Charlie will be dearly missed but will live on in the hearts of all who loved him forever. "Just one last Cast..." In lieu of memorials, a random act of kindness in Charlie's honor would be greatly appreciated.
