Palace

Charles “Chuck” Palace, 68, of Butler passed away on Monday, May 29, 2023.

He was born in Butler on Feb. 22, 1955, the son of the late Charles Sr. and Rose (Schnitzki) Palace.

Chuck worked for Pullman Standard until its closing, after which he worked in the auto body field for the remainder of his career. He was a member of the Slovak Sokol Society and American Legion Post 778, both of Lyndora.

He enjoyed hunting and the outdoors, including going to his camp in Tionesta and picking mushrooms. In addition, he was an avid fisherman, participating in many local bass and crappie tournaments with his longtime fishing partner, John Grystar. Many will remember him for his deer processing, homemade sausage, and kielbasa.

Above all, he loved nothing more than attending his kids’ and granddaughter’s sporting events and band performances. He was hardworking, loving, and had a great sense of humor. Chuck was a phenomenal husband, father, grandfather and friend. His granddaughters brought so much joy to his life; they were his special helpers in so many ways. He was loved by so many and will be forever missed.

Chuck was the loving husband of Christine (Czyzyk) Palace since their marriage in 1982; father of Adam (Joelene) and Hank Palace, and grandfather of Ava and Olivia.
