Devoted husband and father, Charles Lee "Chuck" Remling, Sr. went home to the Lord on March 3, 2013. Chuck served in the U.S. Coast Guard during World War II and worked at Milam Chevrolet after the war. He was instrumental in founding Harlandale Little League. Chuck worked at the Pearl Brewing Co. for 34 years, starting in the bottle shop, advancing to the sound and display department and eventually managing the Jersey Lily, often serving as Master of Ceremonies and doing his standup comedy routine. At his retirement, Chuck was a regional sales manager. Over the years, Chuck's love for music led him to the Chordsmen Chorus, barbershop competitions and entertaining San Antonio in many venues. Feeling that barbershop shows needed some levity, he formed The FreeLoaders comedy quartet with three fellow barbershoppers. The four became fast friends travelling nationwide entertaining crowds, the highlight being a U.S.O. tour during the Viet Nam era to Japan, Okinawa and the Philippines. Chuck's proudest achievements included his work for The American Cancer Society as a "Road to Recovery" volunteer, driving cancer patients to chemo appointments and efforts in the St. Vincent DePaul Society. Chuck is survived by his beloved wife of 70 years, Lucille H. Remling, son Charles Remling, Jr., Bea, daughters Carolyn Brecher Allen, Jeanine Crumrine Bill, grandchildren Cathy Dorrell, Debbie Fullenwider, Christopher Remling, Michael Brecher, Matthew Remling, Scott Brecher, Oscar Morgan, Jr., Tim Crumrine Kathleen. Great grandchildren Nathan Fullenwider, Bobbie Cashion, Abigail Crumrine, Daniel Remling, great, great grandchildren Abigail Fullenwider and Emily Cashion, devoted nephews and nieces Eleanor McCaskill Bi11, Phillip Remling Cindy Joseph Remling Diane, Jeanie Wilson Stanley, Elsie Blanchard Jim, Wanda Vanderwende, Sherron Stead John and Pat Etter Bill. All those who knew and loved Chuck will surely say, "We'll meet again". Viewing will be held at Mission Park South, 1700 S. E. Military Drive on Sunday March 10 from 2pm to 4 pm. Rosary will be recited at St. Benedict's Catholic Church, 4535 Lord Road, 11 am March 11, 2013, with funeral Mass following at 12:00 pm. Interment will follow at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.
