In memory of Charles D. "Chuck" Janecek for his service to our country, as part of the Veterans Memory Park in Dodge, NE.

Chuck was born January 19, 1951 to Frank and Marita (Ernesti) Janecek. He grew up on the family farm north of Dodge and attended St. Wenceslaus Catholic Grade School. He graduated from Dodge High School with the class of 1969. On September 24, 1971 he married Jeri Ann Hilbers at St. Leo's Catholic Church in Snyder. Chuck served his country with the United States Marine Corps from 1969 until 1973. He returned to the farm where he spent his life farming.

He was a proud member of the Dodge American Legion, St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church and had served the local community in various positions. He loved fishing, hunting, football and farming.

Survivors include his wife, Jeri of Dodge, daughter Jennifer (Mitchell) Schmidt of Omaha, granddaughters Lauren and Abigail Schmidt and son Joel of West Point. Also, his sisters Connie (Allan) Johannes of Omaha, Patricia (Ron) Coufal of Howells, and Barbara (Rick) Podany of Clarkson.

I was straighten up my books in the bookcase and I saw a piece of paper sticking out of an old notebook. When I open the notebook i found an old envelope with a Christmas card in it from Chuck and Jerri. We use to exchange cards every year. I always wondered why I stopped getting them. Anyway, I thought I will go online and see if I could find Chuck. I entered his name and Dodge, NE. His obit immediately popped up and I am sitting here stunned. We had so much fun together in Japan. He was the most homesick person I ever met. We talked a lot about home and family. He was a great person...salt of the earth type of person. Rest in peace my friend.
