It is with deep sadness that we share with you the passing of longtime West Chicago resident Charles A. Scheckel Jr. Chuck honored us in 2011 by serving as our parade marshal during Railroad Days. We will never forget this proud US Navy Seaman sharing stories in the colorful way that only Chuck could do. Our sympathy goes to all his family, friends and the many others blessed to have known him.
David J. Sabathne, President
