Chuck was born November 14, 1949 in Benton Harbor to Volney & Dorothy (Johns) Witkoske. He graduated from Benton Harbor High School, Class of 1967, from Lake Michigan College with an Associates Degree, and attended Andrew’s University. Chuck spent twenty-five years as a chemist at Miles Laboratory in Elkhart, IN, and finished his career at the Berrien Springs water treatment plant, retiring after ten years in 2015.
Chuck was a member of Sarett Nature Center in Benton Harbor. That was just one of the many places where he enjoyed his favorite pass-times of bird watching and photography. He loved the outdoors and the beauty of God’s nature and the flying creatures he created.
Chuck is survived by his sister Cindy Cutler-Awrey of Holland; his twin nephews-Clark & Jackson Cutler of Holland; and several cousins in the area. He was preceded in death by his Father Volney in December 2018, and his Mother Dorothy in October 2019.
