- Note on Find a Grave:
Charles was the son of Charles Wilson Kratzer Sr. and Mary Jane Robinson. He was the youngest and only boy child in his family. His oldest sister Helen Julia Kratzer, Davis born in 1913- and another sister Margaret Josephine Kratzer, Gravett 1918-1975. In 1940 he served in the regular Army (Horse Calvary) and was honorably discharged in 1941. He married several times and could never settle down in one place for very long. His trade was a Linotype operator (Printer) as his father was before him.
When uncle Charlie was in his late forties he lost his eye sight to glaucoma. He was a member of Inner Views, a support group for the blind. His eye seeing dog was a beautiful Golden Retriever Boomer. Uncle Charlie may have had his problems and would drift in and out of our lives many times, but it's when he went blind and had to finally settle down, that we really got to know him. Uncle Charlie, deep down was a really fun person, with a great sense of humor. He was a very easy going guy and never complained about anything. I remember when we had to take him to the hospital (Cancer) he was in so much pain, and never complained...he told some jokes on the way that made us laugh and forget for the moment that he was very sick. Memories are wonderful and we have many of those about our Uncle Charlie. When we admitted him in the hospital we never dreamed that God would take him so quickly, he died a few day later, and today is is still very much missed. We Love you Uncle Charlie.
