We gather to honor the life of Charles Ten Pas, fondly known to many as Chuck "Bobby."

As Charles Dickens once said, "It is not the length of life, but the depth," and Chuck "Bobby" lived a life full of depth, leaving a lasting impact on those fortunate enough to have shared in his journey. Chuck "Bobby" dedicated his life to education and served his community for many years as the School District Superintendent. He was a beacon of light, guiding generations of young minds towards success with unwavering dedication and exceptional leadership. As Henry Adams once said, "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." Chuck "Bobby's" influence will continue to resonate in the hearts and minds of those he educated and inspired throughout his illustrious career. He was a loving and devoted husband to his wife, Geraldine Pas, and an incredible father to their three daughters, Janice Chittenden, Tina Nelson, and Kimberly Bell. His love and devotion to his family knew no bounds, and his memory will forever be etched in their hearts. Chuck "Bobby" was preceded in death by his father, Vivian Pas, and his mother, Janet Berg. Their loving memories, coupled with his own, will forever be cherished. A graveside service will be held on Monday, August 11, 2025, at 1:00 pm PDT at the Silver Creek Cemetery, located at National Forest Development Road 47, Randle, Washington, 98377.
