Charles George Gerlach

I only had the pleasure of spending time with Chuck as 5th and 6th graders at Dort Elementary in Roseville. He was so genuine and a shining light then and obviously, continued as such into adulthood. He will be missed by all who knew him. I pray that God's grace strengthen and sustain his family in this time of great loss.

To the family and friends of Chuck. I am so so sorry for your loss. He was one very special guy who touched everyones lives that he met. May his memory live on in your heart. My prayers are with you all at this sad time. May he be flying with the angels.

I have such great memories of Chuck being the car pool driver for 3 of us girls down to WSU--always a lot of laughs, especially the day the steering column came right up out of the floor! He was a wonderful person and I feel blessed to have known him. Rest In Peace.

Thank you Chuck for being a friend. When you and Dawn looked me up in Mobile and we had lunch it was a high light for the year. Chuck I will always remember our days at Center Line and our lasting friendship. May God's blessings be upon your family and friends. Your friend Terry.

Old Machine Designers never die, they just ride off into the sunset. I had the honor of knowing & working with Chuck at the Cross Co. Proud to have served with you old friend!
I'll be seeing you.

To your family Chuck I give my sincere condolences. Also to those who know Chuck were blessed by a person who gave his complete self into whatever it was he got involved in. Friendship, family, children, sports, work, life itself. Thanks for the honor of getting to know you and be a part of your life God bless you.

Hello Dawn, I am very sorry to hear of Chuck's passing. He was a very friendly person and really loved music the way I do. He will be greatly missed. May God grant you and your family comfort during this time. Bill Mankiewicz, Roseville, Mi January 2, 2017

Very sorry to hear about chucks passing. Last time i saw him was at Beths wedding to my dad and he was just a ray of hope and sunshine. Such a great personality and just fun to be around. He will be dearly missed and best wishes to the rest of the family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Chuck at Beth and Steve's home at a barbeque one time. He had such an amazing knowledge of music from "the old days"... it was such a joy talking with him. I saw him at other times and could see his love and pride in his family. He will be truly missed.

I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER CHUCK AS THE GUY WHO COULD LIGHT UP A ROOM. THIS IS GARY AIUTO. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU.

Dear Dawn, I am so sorry. Life can be so unfair. Chuck will be greatly missed. His smile, his sense of humor. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Loved Mr Gerlach. He was such a lovely man. Taught us catechism for many years. God Bless his sweet soul

I know that Chuck is now among God's Angels. RIP Chuck.

I had the pleasure of working with Chuck at both The Cross Company and Ex-Cell-O. What a kind person was. I know he will be truly missed. Rest in peace Chuck.
