Obituary of Charles Ramuz

Charles (Chuck) Ramuz, 76, died Friday, 10:30 a.m., June 22, 2012 at home surrounded by his family and friends after battling Alzheimer's for years. Chuck was the Assistant Plant Manager of Manufacturing at McCulloch Corporation here in Lake Havasu City, when he retired in 1995, after 41 years. He first started at McCulloch upon graduation from High School, at the age of 18, in Los Angeles, California, in 1953. He is survived by his wife, Arlene; his son, Paul; his son David and David's wife Kathy; his tow grandchildren Makenna and Steven; and numerous close friends. Chuck and Arlene were high school sweethearts and their passion for each other only grew over the years. They had just celebrated their 58th anniversary. An avid golfer, Chuck always said it was a sport he could play forever. Unfortunately, he didn't count on Alzheimer's to take that dream away from him. A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, June 30, at the family home, with a short prayer service and luncheon at 2:00 p.m. Friends, and the caring staff of New Hope Hospice are most welcome. In lieu of flowers please forward any donation to the Alzheimer's Association.
