CHARLES A. JANKE

Mr Janie was my drivers Ed teacher I was the only female to Pass his class in 1960. Considering I was involved in an auto accident with the car, that really surprised me. We got pushed through a intersection by a semi truck. You dad kept his cool and handled the situation well. Andrea Zart Goidman

Mr. Janke was my track coach at Milford in the '60s. He was a difference maker in the lives of his student-athletes. His persistent encouragement to improve in all facets of life was inspirational. I consider him one of my most important mentors. I will always gratefully remember him.

I remember being close to no heighting in Pole Vault one meet. Coach Janke very discreetly walked by and told me to move my steps back I was getting under. That was so classy . Made me so proud when I was running at JCC to return the favor when Dave Meade thanked me in the paper for helping him at some meet where he might have beat my Parkside Lads. Great coach, great person!

Mr. Janke was a teacher of mine at JHS back in the 80's. One if my favorite teachers. My sincerest condolences to the family.

Doing your prescribed workouts after working and coaching all day was tough but your positive remarks and your experience led me through all of...

I´m going to miss you Uncle Chuck especially the rides on the pontoon boat and talking to you
