As a young boy on the farm he loved horses and fishing then grew to love bowling, dancing & was very well known for his game of pool. He was known as �Slim� to his 9-ball buddies and taught his skill & passion for the game to his niece Trish, who he always quoted �If you can�t play with a crooked house stick; you ain�t worth squat!� Chuck also loved going to Wendover and made sure he got one last trip in 6 days before he went home to be with Armetta; his wife who he missed terribly. Chuck always made sure everyone was taken care of, happy & loved. He cared so much for his �baby sis� Billie that he took her along on his dates when she was young to keep her safe from her older siblings and the usual teasing and rivalry. Chuck was very much loved and will be missed by his family and many friends. Chuck is survived by his �baby sis� Billie Downey, daughter Charlene, grandchildren, nieces & nephews and one special niece Patricia (Tod) Bertlshofer. Preceded in death by parents, wife Armetta, brother Arnold Trolin, Sister Doris Whittaker Lenke. Billie would like to thank the VA Hospital, Dr. Anna Beck, CNS Hospice; particularly his nurses Karen & Jennifer who took such good care of Chuck. He thought the world of them. At his request he will be cremated and set free at his tree near Wendover. There will be a service at Deseret Mortuary, 36 East 700 South, on Friday November 18th at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the Shriner's Hospital in Charles name.
