Charles Cullina Obituary
Chuck was born and raised in Chicago but spent the last 30 years in Elbert Colorado. He served in the Navy. He was an Operating Engineer through Local 150 in the Chicagoland area. His work as a heavy equipment operator and manager took him to work on 3 continents. He was an NRA member and avid member of several gun clubs in Colorado. He raised horses in CO and ran horse rescues during several of the CO forest fires. Chuck had a way of making everyone around him feel special and loved. His twinkling blue eyes, quick laugh and all encompassing hugs will be missed by all who knew him.
A Celebration of Life will be held in Chicago in the summertime. The date, time and location to be determined.

I hired Chuck back on the 80's as an equipment operator in the environmental business. He quickly rose through the ranks as the best the company could offer. His services were constantly requested by rival offices. This relationship was much more than employer-employee. He was a class act that taught me much about life. Unfortunately, due to a ongoing critical illness in my family, we will be unable to attend his celebration in Chicago.

Chuck was a really great and neat guy who NEVER hid his light under a bushel. I wish we had seen more of him.

Chuck, I just made some salsa with the tomatoes I canned, that you and Mary had brought me from Colorado one year. It's not as good as yours, but it reminds me of your generosity, kindness and how you absorbed new friends into your family. I'll never forget your big bear hugs and I am grateful to have known you.

The world is a lesser place without Chuck. I worked with him for many years and his humor, his intelligence, his kindness, his integrity, and yes, even his ceaseless teasing will be missed.

You were so many different things to so many people. For me you were my first love, my first dance, my first valentine, and always my hero! You taught me how to ride horses, shoot guns, bail hay, clean stalls, load ammo and stand up for myself! So proud to call you my Dad, my Papa Bear, you will be missed always, never forgotten and loved like no other! Rest and be in peace! Hug and Kiss on Theresa for me! Your baby girl, Julia
