CHARLES MILLSPAUGH

Charles Harvey "Chuck" Millspaugh, 83, of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, died at his home, on Wednesday morning, January 16, 2013.

Born on December 8, 1929 in Rome, Iowa, he was the son of Charles W. and Gladys Johnston Millspaugh. He married Faye Alta Harris on October 29, 1960 in Chamberlain, Illinois. She died on July 22, 2004.

Chuck worked at IAAP as a custodian and retired after 38 years. He was a Cold War Patriot (workers who sacrificed their health in service to our country). He also farmed and worked on the production line at Heatilator where he retired for a second time. Chuck loved to laugh and could always come up with a joke to make others laugh. He enjoyed playing pitch with care-givers, car rides, eating at Deano's and spending time outdoors in his track chair.

He was a member of the Rome & Lockridge Baptist Church.

He is survived by one adopted daughter, Mary Ellen (Mike) Holloway of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa; three step-daughters, Sharon Nichols, Dorothy Kay Bolander and Linda Rollins, all of Burlington, Iowa; one step-son, Adrian Hand of Burlington, Iowa; over 50 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
