(Meaghan); grandson, Ethan; an expected granddaughter; brother, Michael (Robin), sisters, Mary Jo Moreton
and Theresa Duricek; mother-in-law, Patricia Domalski; and many loyal friends.He is preceded in death by
both his parents and his father-in-law, Gerald Domalski.A 1971 graduate of Cardinal Stritch High School,
Chuck lived an active life of service to his family and to his community. He made time to bring his wife a
cup of coffee and a newspaper on her days off, and he spent countless hours helping his sons renovate their
homes. He coached youth soccer teams, served as club president for the Rossford Travel Soccer Club, planned
and was chairman for the Toledo Antique and Classic Boat Show, and served chicken paprikas dinners at All
Saints Catholic Church for 10 years.He was very proud to have served two terms on Rossford City Council and,
after earning the highest number of votes in November’s election, was eagerly anticipating serving a third
term.Mechanically minded and a very talented craftsman, Chuck loved to restore antique boats, cars, and
houses. He spent 40 years managing the business his father founded in 1952, and took immense pride in the
job that he loved.Always ready for a friendly debate over a cup of coffee or Saturday morning breakfast with
his friends at the Bulldog Diner, Chuck’s welcoming and generous nature was very well known. He was a man of
strong character who boldly stood by his principles. His legacy of generosity continues through his gift of
organ donation. He will be remembered by many, but forgotten by none.Family and friends may visit at the
