To Mrs. Rothert: it was a joy to help Charles during his stay at Manorcare. It brought a smile to my face every time I saw that grin he gave me. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts. I hope you find peace in knowing he is no longer in pain. Please take care of yourself. May God Bless you.

You know, the highlight of St. Al's rummage sale wasn't the keilbossi sandwich. It wasn't the awesome free coffee.......It was Chuck. Can't tell you how much me and my friend Connie enjoyed kidding around with him. Some people make a permanent impression on your life. Chuck is a laughing face that we will always remember warmly. Our deepest, sincerest sympathy for you and your family. Thats a loss our community will all feel for a long time. Nobody filling Chuck's shoes.

To the Rothert Family - I am so very sorry to hear about Chucks passing. I worked for YC in the office and Chuck was such a great guy. He was Santa Claus for my now 21 year old daughter when she was first born and I will always remember him for his great personality and smile.

Mrs. Rothert, Ken, Mike and family,
My deepest sympathies to all of you. I enjoyed Chuck's humor when we were teenagers and even more so in the last few years at St. Al's. I so looked forward to seeing his smile and listening to his wisecracks at every sale! He was always very good to me and he seemed to find such amusement in everything - no matter when I saw him. What a great and fun-loving guy. I will truly miss him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in such a difficult time.

We are so sorry for your loss. Mr. Rothert touched the lives of so many children and all those around him. His constant smile, exuberant energy, smile and jokes will live in our hearts forever.

Dolly and Family--I know your hearts are breaking now. What wonderful memories we all have of Chuck, that always smiling face. If there is truly a heaven and we meet the ones who go before Denny and Chuck are talking non stop, just like in the past. Those were some of Denny's happiest times, going out after walking the dogs, enjoying the company of good friends. My love and prayers are with you all.
