Charles (Chuck) Kaiser, 51

July 23, 2016

Charles (Chuck) Kaiser, of Lancaster, PA, passed away unexpectedly on July 23, 2016. He was the proud father of two daughters, Alanna (age 21) and Corina (age 17), who thought of him as the ultimate role model and source of inspiration and strength. He was the loving husband of Paula, who was his best friend, and he, the love of her life. In addition to his role as a father and husband, Chuck was a talented musician and artist.

Born February 10, 1965 in South Philadelphia, PA, Chuck was the son of Mildred and Walter Kaiser. He attended Lebanon Catholic High School, where his music teacher encouraged him to pursue higher education, advice that would change the course of his life. He went on to attend Millersville University, where he forged lifelong friendships and met his late wife Annmarie. After Ann’s passing in 2006, Chuck soldiered on as a single parent, until reconnecting with a friend from high school and finding love again. Chuck and Paula were married in a beautiful ceremony in Scotland in 2013, and shared so many joyful memories, concerts, travels and boundless love with each other and their newly formed family.

Chuck is survived by stepdaughter Danielle Lucas and her future husband Stephen Boland III, siblings: James Kaiser of Philadelphia, PA, Robert Kaiser of Arlington, VA, Joan Walborn of Jonestown, PA, and Stephen Kaiser of Palmyra, PA, as well as cousins, nieces, nephews, and his beloved best friend “Coalie”, all who meant the world to him.

Chuck was a remarkable, kind, passionate, logical, and talented man. He taught his family and friends how to pursue joy, confront adversity, and he will be missed in more ways than words can capture.

Services will take place on Saturday, July 30, 2016 at Charles F. Snyder, Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, located at 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543. Public viewing and visitation will begin at 9:00 a.m., followed by a Celebration of Life Service at noon.
