Charles Robert Broadsword

Charles Robert Broadsword, born September 15, 1933, passed away November 26, 2019.

Chuck was born “up Grouse Creek” to William and Margaret (Grey) Broadsword. The fourth of nine siblings, he and his brother Gene ran wild in the hills. Chuck met Donna (Chronic) Broadsword at Sandpoint High. They were married in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, at the Hitching Post in 1952.

Chuck worked at the Pack River Mill, later WI, for 40 years, then Northern Log Homes for 10 years. Chuck loved the outdoors. Most of our weekends, when not working on the home farm, were spent camping, fishing, or hunting.

Chuck was preceded in death by his parents; an infant son, Kim Allen; his brothers, Dalton, Gene, and Douglas, and his sister, Esther Burian.

Chuck is survived by his wife, Donna; his son John (Joyce) Broadsword; his daughter, Virginia (Sam) Howard; grandchildren, Wendy (Scot) Auld, Amie (Owen Kehoe) Broadsword, Brian (Renee) Bartlett, Andy (Jennie) Bartlett, and JC (Lolita) Broadsword; 10 great-grandchildren; his brothers, Chet (Marsha) Broadsword, Arthur Broadsword, and Dale (Lu) Broadsword; and his sister Hazel Crowley; sisters-in-law, Rose (Ron) Chaney and Judy (Tom) Dabrowski; brother-in-law, Mike (Lisa) Chronic; and many nieces and nephews.
