Charles J. "Chick" Becker of Rockville MD, passed away peacefully on February 26, surrounded by his loving family. A devoted Washington sports fan, Chick was the son of the late Herbert and Rena Becker. He shared 64 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife and childhood sweetheart, Phyllis. Chick was a devoted father to Mark (Tiffany), Ilene (Mike), and Julie (Byron), and a proud and loving grandfather to Alex, Andrew, Shannon, Alyssa, Kristine, Matt, Braydon, and Colby. His family was his greatest joy. Chick graduated from American University, where he played baseball. He went on to build a successful CPA practice in Bethesda, earning the respect of his clients and colleagues. An avid tennis player Chick rarely missed the opportunity to watch or play in a match. Whether on the court or cheering from the sidelines, his enthusiasm was contagious. He had a remarkable gift for making everyone he met feel welcome. His warmth, humor, and generous spirit will be remembered by all. Services will be held at 1pm, Sunday March 1 at Judean Memorial Gardens Chapel in Olney, MD.
