Charles Cadwallader Obituary
Beloved Husband of Bess for 56 years. Father of Charles R. Cadwallader and Nancy Hayes. Grandfather of Joe Hayes, Kevin Cadwallader and Cece Cadwallader.
Chuck was a very patriotic citizen, serving a four year term with the United States Navy and was honorably discharged. Shortly after, Chuck joined the Army serving proudly for 20 years; retiring with a second honorable discharge. Upon retiring from the military, Chuck and his family located to San Jose, California where Chuck was employed as a precision machinist. After living in San Jose, Chuck and Bess relocated to Redding CA. Chuck was a resident of Shasta Lake for 29 years and enjoyed camping, swimming and fishing with his family and friends on Lake Shasta. Chuck was an avid golfer scoring two holes in one during his lifetime, and enjoyed gardening, woodworking, and building numerous items for his wife, family, and friends.
Chuck fought a courageous battle for three years against cancer and was finally summoned to be with God.

Chuck was a man that was loved by all that knew him. It is hard to imagine that he is no longer around, but he is still with us in our hearts. What I will always remember about him was how he loved to make people laugh and his irresistable charm. Though we weren't related by blood, I looked at him like a grandfather and loved him very much. I know he is looking down on his loved ones now. We will miss you always chuck.

Chuck was my father-in-law. Some of our family's best memories in life are with him and Bess at their house during the many summers we visited them. He will always be remembered and live in his family's hearts forever.

To all that knew my beloved Grandfather Im glad you went to his funeral to see a great man rest in peace now. My Grandfather was a great teacher and a great man of words and wisdom. He taught me much and I will use the knowledge he gave me to live the rest of my life living happily as he wanted me to before he died. I just want everybody to know he was a great man and the best Grandfather in my life. Love you Grandpa.
Always with love kevin.

We were so blessed by knowing this gentle man. I was lucky to have meet him thru his grandson Joey. Who was a friend of my son Chris. What a small world it is. Chuck made a very wonderful family. We will miss him, but we have memories. I feel bad, as I have lost touch with the family. But am so glad to have bumped elbows with this special family. He was the sweetest husband, he was lucky to have his sweet dear wife Bess. She is a doll too. Well, Nancy,Joey,Charles and the rest of your family, thanks for sharing your Dad with us. May he rest in peace. He'll be well there, with the other angels we know. Take care family, you will be in our thoughts.
Love, Terry Tucker

I'm a friend of the Turcottes (Justin, Brigitte, Shari). I met Chuck only once -- during his anniversary trip to Hawaii -- but I vividly remember his boundless spirit and sense of humor. My prayers are with your family, and I'm glad I had the chance to spend time with such an outstanding person.

When my sister Monti married her husband Chuck, our family was quickly embraced by Chuck Sr. and Bess. They always welcomed us as part of their family and we have always loved them dearly. Chuck was always quick to give a big hello and a hug when I saw him. He would make me laugh with his jokes and his stories, and it was always fun to share a dance with him at a party or get-together. After 30 years of seeing him on holidays or summer trips, I have lots of fun, happy memories that include Chuck. Sharing the 50th anniversary with Chuck and Bess in Hawaii will always stand out in my mind. Chuck was bantering quips with the host of the luau and he was hilarious! That is the Chuck I'll always remember- full of fun and life. I feel lucky to have known Chuck and I will miss him.

Dear Bess, Nancy,and Joe,
I was so sorry to see that your husband,dad and grandpa had passed away. I remember how much fun he was in the few times that I had met him! He was really a cool guy! The first time I met him was with Trent at one of his famous pool parties. I just wanted you all to know that I haven't forgotten any of you. You are in my thoughts!!
Take care. May knowing how much he was loved and respected help you through this difficult time.

To the family, your Husband, Father, and Grandfather. What I remember most about Chuck, are the stores he love to tell, at the many family party's he had, and if you knew Chuck, he would have a party at the drop of a hat. One of the story's he would tell over and over again, was that one day when we lived in San Jose, Tony and I stopped over to Bess and Chuck's, on our way to a party, I'd just had my long hair all dune up and dressed up, watch was very raw, Chuck took one look at me and guess where I ended up at, your right, dressed up I went into that pool, after all this year's Chuck would get this look in his eye's and he would tell the story all over again and laugh as much as he did the day I went in the pool.
Bess, Chuck,Monty, Nancy, and to the rest of the family, I want you to know that your in my prays. May God watch over you all and easy your pain.
Ex-sister-in-Law.

I met Mr. Cad and his family in 1969, and have remained friends with his daughter, Nina, lo, these many years. Mr. Cad was warm, friendly, and generous. He could sense if you were down, and had a gift for lifting you up. He was such fun, and seemed to always be hosting a BBQ or something. One time, back in 1971, while I was having fun at the Cad house in their pool with Nina, Susie, and friends, my Mom came to pick me up,and just stared at Mr. Cad. It turned out they knew each other from Japan, both were in the military and stationed there, circa 1950! Just goes to show you, he was the kind or person you don't forget. I've always had tremendous respect for Mr. Cad. My heart goes out to the family, and so do my prayers. May God comfort you, and may Mr. Cad rest in peace.
Love you all,

I have known Chuck & his family since I was 12 years old & he came down to our house to meet his new neighbors. I've been best friends with his daughter Nancy since she asked me to go swimming that first day! Mr. Cad (I always have a problem calling him "Chuck") & Mrs. Cad have been like 2nd parents to me & I will never forget how much they have meant to me. He was a wonderful man with an amazing ability to make you laugh & feel loved! I will miss him dearly... Rest in peace, Mr. C! Love you....Susie (Bubblebutt!)

Bess, I am so sorry hear about Chuck, and so sorry for you and your family's loss. I don't know if you remember, I met both you and Chuck early in my career with Allstate. It's been many years and I still remember Chucks demeanor,Humor and attitude that he had carried with him. He had always made me feel so Important and treated me as a friend, He has made an everlasting impression with me on how to treat others. That will alway's be with me. THANK YOU.

I met Chuck through church for the first time and Chuck was the type of person that made you feel at ease. Chuck was a kind, gentle and caring person with so much love in his heart for his family and a good round of golf.

Dear Family of Mr. Cadwallader,
I was so sorry to hear of chucks passing. I held his hand the week he died. I told him he needed to eat more because he was loosing to much weight. He said, "Oh I eat good, I bring my own lunch to the hospital". I didn't know it would be the last time I would see him. I really enjoyed his spirt. He will be missed, but I will always be glad that I held his hand. We never know when its our turn. My thougts are with you all. Dianne R.N

Chuck was my grandpa and I loved him very very much! I'm going to miss him. I remember he told me that he was going to live until I was 30 but that didn't work I guess, but I forgive him. RIP grandpa I'm going to miss you very much! I love you!

Chuck was my Dad.
During this difficult time as I look through family photos, so many great memories are spawned. I have come to realize that these memories are more than that; and are actually everlasting treasures. I've not only lost a wonderful Dad, but I have also lost a great friend. May he rest in Peace, and if Gods willing; someday we may see eachother again. I Love you Dad!
