Obituary

Charles “Chuck” “Charlie” Joseph Burich III was born on March 21, 1926, in Hassan Valley Township, MN, the son of Charles and Frances (Molva) Burich. He was baptized on April 4, 1926, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Silver Lake, MN. He lived in Hassan Valley Township until 1930. Charles was confirmed in October 1948, at Freidan (Peace) Lutheran Church. When his father passed away in 1930, they moved to Silver Lake. In 1934 his family moved to Hutchinson.

After serving his country, Charles returned to Hutchinson working as a mechanic at the local Ford dealerships specializing in rebuilding engines and automatic transmissions. For many years he was the tow truck operator for Plowman’s Inc. In 1979, he was injured at work and had to discontinue the work he loved.

    So sorry to hear of your family’s loss. I always enjoyed chatting with your dad at sporting events, legion or VFW. He was always proud of his children. I was just recently at the Gardens visiting someone else. I did not he was there. I would have stopped & said “hello”. Hugs to your family…

    prayers are being said for Chuck’s family during their time of sorrow. I enjoyed visiting with him during my employment at the American Legion Post 96. He definitely was proud of his family. He now can watch over you flying high as your Guardian Angel and maybe organizing an Angel memorial rifle squad
