Sad News - Charlie Schuster


Dear Friends,

By now you have all received the sad news of Charlie Schuster's passing away. I have spoken to several veteran members this week about a fitting tribute for Charlie, and we will indeed remember him at our meeting this week. In case you missed the obituary in the Pensacola News Journal, here is an excerpt from it that highlights Charlie's contributions to Rotary:

"Charlie was very committed to the purpose and mission of Rotary International. He was a Charter member of the Suburban West Rotary Club and a past president of the Gulf Breeze Rotary Club. In 1985, he became District Governor for Rotary District 6940, which includes all Rotary clubs from Pensacola to Lake City, Florida. He served on the Rotary International Council on Legislation and attended numerous Rotary International Conventions throughout the world. He was a multiple Paul Harris Fellow with over 51 years of service to Rotary."

If you'd like to see it online, here is a link to the site at pnj.com:

The PNJ website also has a very nice guestbook with moving comments and tributes from those who knew Charlie well. God Bless you. BC.
