Obituary
Charles "Chuck" Murray, 87, of Alpine, CA, passed away on October 05, 2024 after battling prostate cancer. Chuck was born in Peoria, Illinois. He was fourth in a family of six children.

At the age of nine he would go around the neighborhood collecting appliances that needed repair, take them home, fix them, and charge a nickel or dime for the job.
