Charles Littler Obituary

Charles Littler
November 25, 1926 - July 28, 2022
Tacoma, Washington - Bob was born November 25, 1926 in Oak Park, Illinois to Hazel E. and Charles Littler. He lived a good life with a lot of variety. Bob was with the Federal Home Loan Bank Board in Chicago and later transferred to Washington D.C. He proudly served our country in both the Navy and the Marines. He retired as Assistant Personnel Director at American Lake VA Hospital. Bob had also been the choir director for St. John Bosco Church. While holding that position he arranged for the choir to go to Rome and sing at the Vatican. Bob leaves behind his devoted friend, Darlene Rautio; godson Chris Rautio; many friends that he cared so much about; and his loving dog, Chester.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to an animal charity of your choice. Memorial services will be held at St. John Bosco Church on August 26, 2022 with Rosary at 10:30 A.M. and service at 11:00 A.M.

Does anyone know the circumstances of his death? I talked to Bob not long ago and he told me his doctors continued to be amazed by his excellent health. We'll miss him. I'd be interested in talking to Darlene to see if there were any photos or momentos from the family, Hazel and Charlie that she could pass on.
