Charles Busch Obituary

April 5, 1939 - December 29, 2021 Charles "Chuck" Gardner Busch of Newport Beach, 82, passed away quietly after a tragic and unexpected fall. He was celebrating the holidays with friends at his favorite place, the Newport Harbor Yacht Club. He was born to Henry and Leida Busch in 1939 in Wilkes-Barre, PA. He was married to Susan Stewart Busch from 1967 until her untimely passing in 2016.
Chuck sailed in the Transpac race to Hawaii in 1967 and 1969 and remained an avid boater all of his life. He had many friends and maintained many long-standing lunch dates on a weekly basis.
Chuck is survived by his brother, Robert Busch. He was father to daughter, Jennifer Nordstrom and son, Charles Christopher Busch. He was also blessed with four grandchildren. He is survived by his beloved dog, Dude, who was a constant companion.

Jennifer and Chris and families
.Your dad and I were first cousins- his Mom and my Mom were sisters. We were fairly close when his family lived in Syracuse. NY unfortunately, when they moved to Austin, MN and then to California miles apart kept us from being as close. I took my mom to Austin a year before she passed away. Then, after they moved to California my sister and I drove across country for a visit.
Chuck was a year younger than I and about 4 years younger than my sister, Carleen who still knows us but is in a nursing home. Chuck and I kept in touch every year with a Christmas card. This past year on December 19th Chuck called me to say he had received my card and that I would be getting his soon (which I did). We talked for about an hour and I was so delighted to hear from him and was devastated when your Uncle Bon called to tell me of his tragic passing. Our love, thought and prayers are with the whole family at this difficult time
