Charles “Charlie” Henry August Reise, 94, passed away Tuesday, July 18, 2023, at
Colby Senior Care in Colby.
Charlie was born March 2, 1929, to Herman and Sophia (Busche) Reise in Rock
County in the city of Janesville.
The family moved to a farm in Unity where Charlie grew up. He attended area
schools at Colby & Unity, graduating from Colby High School in 1946. Charlie
loved playing high school basketball and baseball and many times relived those
happy memories with stories of that time.
Charlie met Rita Gerl of Stratford at a dance at the Silver Dome Ballroom in
Neillsville. He liked to remember the dance where he met her and “their song”:
“The Blue Skirt Waltz.” On July 15, 1950. Charlie and Rita were united in Holy
Matrimony at St. Joseph’s Church in Stratford.
Charlie and Rita owned and operated a dairy farm in the Unity area. Together
they raised a family of three boys and five girls. In 2006 Charlie was reunited
with a daughter from a previous relationship. Rita would have loved her and
welcomed her into the family, just as the whole family did.
Through the years Charlie also worked at Mandel’s Cheese Factory, Johnson’s
Sawmill, and drove bus for many years for the Colby school district. In 1970
Charlie and Rita bought the Corner Bar and Cafe in Unity, a business they
operated even as Charlie continued to drive bus and do a milk inspection route.
Charlie also drove a fuel truck for 17 years for Harmony Coop in Colby.
Charlie and Rita were long term members of Saint Mary’s Catholic Church. On
February 22, 1997 Rita died of pancreatic cancer.
In 1998, Charlie married Audree Hederer. The marriage later dissolved in
divorce.
Charlie lived in Spencer for eight years where he continued to drive bus, first
for Burnett’s Transportation and later shuttle bus for the Marshfield Clinic as
an employee of Marshfield Bus Service. Charlie met many interesting people
during his years of driving bus and prided himself on serving others. He ended
his bus driving career at the age of 88 with a spotless safety record.
On May 30, 2015, Charlie and Orvilla Makovec were married St. John’s Catholic
Church in Marshfield. Theirs was a relationship built on faith, love of family
and love of one another.
Charlie and Orvilla lived first in Marshfield and later moved to Colby, where
they resided until the time of his death. She survives. Charlie had a list of
priorities in his life. First was his deep-rooted love of his Catholic faith and
then for his family. He loved building and selling birdhouses and making barns
for his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He spent many happy hours
hunting, fishing and telling stories about his many adventures. He also loved
watching the Packers and the Brewers. Charlie was a man who lived as he died,
professing his faith and love of it as well as his love of family. He taught
always what he did best, the art of forgiveness. He will be deeply missed by
those who he loved and those who loved him back just as fiercely.
Charlie is survived by his wife of eight years, Orvilla; children: Kathy (Duane)
Bowe, Chippewa Falls, Roger (Deborah) Reise, Unity, Marilyn (Ron) Brost,
