Charlie was born the son of Elmer and Adeline (nee Margelowsky) Kluewer on April 23, 1950, in Hartford. He attended and graduated from Oconomowoc High School.
Charlie was united in marriage to the love of his life, Wanda Becker, on August 18, 1979, in Hustisford. Together, the couple was blessed with and raised two beautiful daughters.
Charlie was employed at Menasha Corporation in Hartford as a forklift driver for 40+years. When he wasn’t working, he loved to tinker in the garage and taught his daughters everything they needed to know. Camping trips and family vacations in Wisconsin Dells were something he always looked forward to. Family was very important to Charlie, and he considered any time spent together a blessing.
Charlie loved his sweets and often went to Piggly Wiggly in search of the perfect treat. He enjoyed going for drives, not knowing his destination. There also was not a newspaper that Charlie didn’t read inside and out from front to back and then three times over! He was a character that everyone loved and will be missed deeply by all.
