Charles "Chuck" Paulger
October 14, 1930 - January 21, 2014
Chuck was born October 14, 1930 in Inavale, Nebraska to Charles and Iva (Rutledge) Paulger. He began working at age 14 to help support his mother and younger sister. He had many interesting working experiences with numerous construction jobs operating heavy equipment, including the beginning of the West Fremont Elevator.
In later years, John Siems taught Chuck to fly small aircraft, which led to his ability to do special piloting jobs for Fremont Aviation. After retirement, Chuck continued his love of being outdoors and working, so he went to the Ritthaler farm in Saunders County to assist with various jobs.
Chuck enjoyed his family so very much and was blessed to see the antics of his great grandsons as often as possible.
He was an active member of the First Baptist Church, the Fremont Masonic Lodge No. 15 A.F. & A.M., and the Fremont Eagles Club Aerie 200.
