Sorry I won't be there to celebrate his life with you. I'll be with you in spirit as I drive home. Hugs to you all.

?My prayers and most sincere condolences go out to Mary and the rest of the Family, and Friends of Charles (Chuck) Stuelke....Chuck was a great friend and one of the most fun people I've ever known...We worked together in the 70's on the old TV show "Tell It To The Judge" on WMT-TV and in the movie F.I.S.T. (See Attached photo) And I used to stop in and visit with Chuck & Mary at "City Consignment"! I will miss Chuck!.... May God bless you all and grant you His loving strength, peace and mercy at this time of loss...In Chuck's honor and to offer some small solace for the Family, I offer the following verse...I hope that it helps even a little.... A BRIGHT LIGHT HAS GONE OUT...(By Michael M. Kelly Sr.) A bright light has gone out and let some of the darkness in, And only God understands why. We who are left behind are not to understand, But maybe we have to accept. We have to accept that for a little while, Chuck's bright light was sent to be among us, For us to enjoy, And now he's gone back to God, Where his bright light can shine forever. Please don't be sad for Chuck, He has gone to a place where he will be happy always, And he will forever, remember your love....

I’m so sorry for your loss , my thoughts and prayers are with all of you , I didn’t know your Father well Lisa but I felt like I did , thank you for sharing such a wonderful person , a wonderful life ??????????

The the Family of Chuck Stuelke, Chuck and my grandfather, Don Hastings, were friends through the Masons. I remember hearing stories of meeting Sly Stallone while filming F.I.S.T (my grandpa was an extra) and how much fun they had filling in for Dr. Max and Mambo. Each year, my mom took me to the Shriners circus and I looked high and low for Chuckles because I thought it was so cool that he and my grandpa were friends, which meant I was personal friends with a clown. When you are 6, it is VERY COOL to be personal friends with a clown. No other clown was of interest to me. One night, Chuck came over to our house for dinner. My plan was to show him that I was really good at handstands, hoping he would say I was so talented, I just HAD to be part of the circus! A dream come true! He was very encouraging, but as I write this, I've yet to perform in a circus ring and at age 44 my handstands aren't so good anymore. Thinking of Chuck just naturally brings a smile to my face. He and my grandfather loved to sing, laugh, perform and entertain and they did so with gusto! Over the next several weeks, so many will come and share their favorite moments and memories of Chuck and I hope you all find comfort in knowing how much he was loved. He certainly meant a great deal to my family. What an amazing man and it is a privilege I had the chance to know him. My deepest sympathies to you, Destiny Hastings
