CHARLES ESSMAN Obituary

January 5, 1951- December 2, 2010 Chuck lost his battle to Lou Gehrig's disease at his home in Etiwanda on Thursday with his family by his side. He is already missed so deeply but can now dance and talk with his Heavenly Father. Chuck was preceded in death by his 19 year old son Charlie and brother-in-law Jimi. Chuck is survived by three beautiful daughters, Natalie, Kimberly (Joe), and Courtney (Tom). Chuck has been blessed with one grandson, Paul, whom he has cherished passing on his love for baseball and grandfatherly advice. Chuck leaves his wife Patty and best friend of 29 years and strengthened her faith before returning home to see her through this time until they reunite for eternity. Chuck also leaves behind this father and mother-in-law Jim and Camille Duke of Etiwanda, brother-in-law Bob and Josie Duke of Idaho, sisters-in-law Laura and Minerva, nephews Christopher, JJ and Nick, nieces Vanessa, Julie and Jolene. Chuck will be missed by so many. Services will be held at Etiwanda Church, 7126 Etiwanda Ave at 2PM on December 18th.
