Charles A. Roberts

A memorial gathering will be December 22, 2018, at Roseberry’s Funeral Home from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 Noon.

Charles was born March 30, 1957, in Mauston, Wisconsin to Albert and Melvina (LaQuee) Roberts. He graduated from Adams-Friendship High School.  Charles married Dawn Marie Leach on May 21, 1983, in Arkdale, Wisconsin. He did much pulping, logging, and trucking in his early years, he then owned and operated C.A.R. Landscaping in Adams County for 33 years.

Charles loved to work and worked to help a great many people that he considered all friends and greatly appreciated.  He assisted many local clubs and organizations when he could.  He could frequently be seen at early morning coffee clutches at local cafes.  He enjoyed dinners out with his wife and many friends.  He cherished friends, family, and his dogs.  He loved the outdoors, camping, hunting, and fishing – though he seldom took time to do them.  May he have his well-earned rest.

    Chuck was such a wonderful man, we are so saddened to hear about his passing. When we first moved to the area he was one of the first people to come help us in our landscaping. He would see us out on occasion, as Friendship is our part-time home, but Chuck ALWAYS remembered us and would take a moment to say Hi. That is a truly special person you do not find every day. He was kind, funny, and will be missed. Our condolences to Dawn and family. I hope all the wonderful memories will help get you through these rough times and someday put a smile back on your faces.
