    Notes 
    • Charles Leroy Odle, a Vietnam Veteran, age 76, passed away on November 18, 2022 in Lincoln, Nebraska.

      He was born in Gordon, Nebraska on September 25, 1946 to his father, Kenneth Odle and his mother, June Wheeler. He graduated from Ceresco High School in 1964.
      Upon graduation, he entered the United States Navy in 1964 as a second-generation sailor and served through 1967 where he garnered an Honorable Discharge. He served as a Naval Reservist for another eleven years.

      He went on in 1991 to earn a degree in Secondary and Higher Education from The University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Chuck was employed at Goodyear from 1967-2001 until he retired after 34 years with the company.

      On November 24, 2001, Chuck married Linda Allen-Lorraine. This was among the happiest days of his life, as he married his soulmate and best friend.

      Chuck also was a father to three sons and one daughter with those being Chad Becwar, Jesse Odle, Ryan Odle and Michelle Matthews-Schaad. His family continued to grow as his children became parents. Chuck had 11 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren, all of whom loved him dearly.

      Chuck celebrated 40-plus years of sobriety and was extremely proud of this accomplishment, as were all his family members. He was a very patriotic man who held the United States and its Armed Services in high esteem.

      Chuck's love for fantasy baseball, attending baseball games, going out to eat with his beloved wife, watching shows and traveling with her, as well as betting on a few games from time to time was him living a wonderful life in retirement. He also coached his twin boys, Jesse and Ryan Odle in baseball and after he was no longer able to actively coach, he took a great interest in helping all his children and grandchildren in the sport of their choosing. Youth sports were very important to Chuck.

      Chuck will forever be loved and missed by his many friends and his family, as well as his beloved dog, Molly. Chuck didn't know a stranger and everyone who ever met him can count themselves as lucky because he was one of the most wonderful and genuine people you could ever meet.
