Charles J. “Chuck” Lievrouw died peacefully Saturday afternoon, October 6, 2018.

Charles Joseph Lievrouw was born on May 30, 1929, in St. Ansgar, Iowa, to Adiel Benjamin and Bertha Rosalee Arickx Lievrouw.

Chuck attended public schools in Mitchell and Osage, Iowa, Loras College in Dubuque, IA and Iowa University, which was interrupted by the Korean War. He joined the Air Force in 1951 and served first as a jet fighter crew chief until Pilot Training began. Chuck then became a pilot and flew various aircraft including strategic bomber, tactical bomber and tanker, ending with refueling B-52s. Chuck left the Air Force in 1959 and remained in the reserve. After leaving the service, Chuck farmed in Iowa for one year. He married Eloise Bennett in 1952.

During his career, Chuck was associated with Hays Aircraft in Birmingham, AL and AirMod in Dover, DE and Vacaville, CA. Chuck also worked in Rome, NY with Cook Electric Company, leaving there for Dynalectron (later DynCorp) in Lake Charles, LA and Fort Worth, TX. Chuck retired in 1991 after serving in various capacities, ending with President of Aerospace Division.

The Lievrouws were longtime members of Holy Family Catholic Church. Chuck designed the tabernacle which is there today.

After retirement, Chuck enjoyed golf and finally building a lake house on Lake Granbury, TX, which was a joy for him and the family.

The family wishes to thank our caring efficient friend and caregiver, Orlena O. Samaniego, for six years with Chuck at home and 3 1/2 years at Stonegate Nursing Center.

They also wish to thank the wonderful CNAs and others who served Chuck so well; there were many, including Delvin Tarrant, Claudia Williams, Lovee Osman, Maria Ortez, Kenyell Childress, Diana Huckabe; Med aides Bridget Wright and Diane Carter; also nurses Celeste, Kimberly DeRossett LVN, John Osmar LVN, Lupe and Ezmerelda.

Dr. Robert Kelly cared for Chuck while at Stonegate and Dr. Vijay Kalaria, who cared for his heart.
