Charles Burney

I was in Kenya with Chuck. I always appreciated his serenity and understated sense of humor. I will miss him.

My message is so very different than the others as I knew wonderful chuck in a different capacity.....as the husband of my dear cousin. So many of you do not know this but the lovely throw pillows that we ladies love to put on our sofas drove him crazy! He didn´t understand all the pillows, but when placed beautifully on the sofa they left nowhere to sit!! Sherry, I was gonna bring you one in his memory but that would be too weird!!!! The world lost one of the good guys , that´s for...

I was so sad to read about Chuck's passing. I remember the last time I saw him. It was August 1997 while my late husband and kids were camping in Waukesha County. Chuck was at the lake in the campground, probably in his capacity as a DNR employee. He was so in his element---loving the outdoors and keeping it all clean and beautiful for generations to come. My heartfelt sympathy goes to Sherry, Sarah, and David. We all lost a good man.

So sorry to hear of Chuck's passing. He was a great guy. There's weren't enough people like Chuck in this world as it is, and now we're all worse off. We look forward to attending his celebration of life ceremony if possible. His life was certainly worth celebrating.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Chuck and I worked together on many water-based projects when I was in Fisheries at the DNR. We had GREAT conversations on our road trips to and from these projects. He was one of the finest men I ever worked with.

I worked with Chuck at the DNR. He was a good man to work with, I always valued his opinion.

Chuck was a wonderful human being. Along with a number of other extraordinarily talented scientists, he played an invaluable role in building wastewater and water quality staff teams at Wis DNR, which were second to none in the country, not just in the quality of their work, but in the depth of the friendships that were formed as people worked together. Those teams led in creative implementation of the Clean Water Act, not just in Wisconsin, but also set an example around the country. It...

To the family, I am very sorry for your loss. Chuck was my Section Chief at DNR and I had great respect and admiration for him. Environmental protection is never an easy task, and Chuck was very supportive of our individual day-to-day efforts and ideas. He connected with us a people as much as workers. Chuck is one of those people that come to mind when reminiscing about our DNR family. Simply put, he was a great guy and a wise leader.
