Charles Francis Brassler, Jr.'s Obituary
Charles Francis Bressler Jr. known to all by Charlie passed away on November 8, 2012, at the young age of 62 after a two month courageous battle against cancer. For those of us fortunate enough to know him called him a loyal father, brother, and friend. Charlie's passing came too soon and he will be sorely missed. His life was dedicated to his family, his business, music, and decorating his home. His love for cars was displayed by his passion for driving his 1999 corvette and 1929 roadster, and watching the 49ers. Charlie was born in Manila Philippines on March 19, 1950. At the age of five his family moved to California where he grew up in South San Francisco. Charlie graduated from El Camino High School in 1969. In 1973 he perused his career in the Transportation business, after more than 35 years in the Air Freight Transportation Business Charlie was known and respected by all. Charlie is survived by his two sons Joe (Michelle) and Jim; two grandsons Noel and Tyler, his partner Anne Ryan (her children, Derek & Sutton), brother Frank, four sisters Diane Cadina, Marie Peters, Linda Marriott (Edward), and Louise Lapari (Terri), cousin Josie Buzzell (Richard) and his nieces and nephews. Charlie was preceded in the afterlife by his brother Jim (Heidi) and parents Charles and Marina Bressler. We would like to thank his friends and extended family for all their love and support. Charlie was cared for by the Kaiser/Hospice Team and we would like to give a special thank you to them for their support and care too.
