Oct. 31, 1952 - May 25, 2021
Chilton, WI
Charles E. "Chuck" Grenzer, age 68, of Chilton died on Tuesday, May 25, 2021 at his home in Chilton. He was born October 31, 1952 in Fond du Lac, son of the late John & Ruth (Schmitz) Grenzer.

With the call sign "Ricochet Rabbit", Chuck loved the time spent on the open roads hauling goods from place to place throughout the country for 48 years. He proudly drove over 7 million miles without an incident or an accident and talked fondly about his stellar driving career. His "hunting" career was always recounted for the time spent with the close friendships he had established over the years and the many memories that those trips fostered.
When he wasn't driving truck, Chuck enjoyed the time spent on the family farm where he could putz all the day long listening to his favorite music artists like Neil Diamond, Roy Orbison or Johnny Cash or watching the remodeling of antiques on YouTube.
His family meant the world to him and his grandchildren especially held a special spot in his life. Chuck went out of his way to make sure that each and every child in his life enjoyed the magic of Christmas each and every year.
