Charles Roosma

April 8, 1953 - June 26, 2023

On the morning of June 26th, 2023, Charles L. Roosma peacefully passed away in his home at the age of 70, surrounded by his wife and children, after a long battle with cancer. Charles was known for his talkative nature and generous spirit, always ready to lend a helping hand and share captivating stories with anyone he encountered. His greatest triumph was the substantial amount of time he gifted to his family, creating cherished and enduring memories for everyone, especially his beloved grandchildren.

Born on April 8th, 1953 in Walnut Creek, CA, to Albert and Barbara Roosma, he was the third of five children. Throughout his life, he resided in various cities across California, including Orinda, San Luis Obispo, Huntington Beach, and most recently, Lodi. He pursued his education at Diablo Valley College, UC Berkeley, and CSU Cal Poly, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. While Charles considered himself a “jack of all trades” due to the variety of jobs he held, his 24 years at Lustre Cal Nameplate Corporation were particularly memorable for him.

On April 11th, 1977, Charles married Pamela, the love of his life, with whom he shared 46 years of happiness and two children. He was incredibly devoted to his family and friends and frequently volunteered for activities, ranging from craft fairs and music concerts to sports tournaments. Charles had a deep passion for reading, storytelling, learning, traveling, camping, martial arts (Judo), and experimenting with new gadgets. He had a long-standing affiliation with the Boy Scouts of America, having been a member during his youth and later serving as an assistant scout leader for his son’s troop. Moreover, he strongly believed in the importance of blood donation and took pride in donating regularly beginning from the age of 15. He left a profound legacy of love and strength, which stands as both a testament to his character and a guide for those who follow after.

Charles is survived by his spouse, Pamela Roosma, his son Joseph Roosma (Edilma), his daughter Mary Roosma (Aaron), his grandchildren Evelyn Roosma and David Harris, and his sisters Doreen Rau and Elizabeth Bluhm.

A visitation will be held from 9:00am - 8:00pm on Thursday, July 6th, 2023 in the Merlot Room at Cherokee Memorial Park, located at 14165 N. Beckman Rd, Lodi, CA 95240.

A memorial/celebration of life for Charles will be held at 3pm on Wednesday, July 12th, 2023, at Cherokee Memorial Park and Funeral Home in Lodi, CA.

Peet, Charles Alan (Chuck, Chaz)

After fighting cancer for over 16 years, our beloved brother and friend, Chuck Peet has passed away at the age of 64. A Lodi resident since 1964 and a 30-year employee of AT&T, Chuck leaves many dear friends and colleagues behind.

Born in 1958 to Lester and Maxine Peet in Madera, CA, Chuck is survived by his brother Jim Peet, of Valley Springs, sister Becky Cook, of Sparks, NV, and nephew Mark Peet, of Sacramento. Chuck was preceded in death by his parents and nephew, Brian Peet, his favorite fishing buddy.

While never married, Chuck enjoyed a full and vibrant life as an avid outdoorsman and continued to do as much as possible while being treated for cancer. Closer to home, he kept a vegetable garden and lovingly cared for his dogs. He enjoyed inviting friends over to help with canning big batches of pickled asparagus and pomegranate jelly, among other things.

Chuck was also a 30-year member of E Clampus Vitus, Chapter Matuca 1849, and Tuleburg 69, and an active participant in many of their events.

He was always looking for fun and could find a way to have a laugh, no matter how dire his medical circumstances. He leaves a big hole in the hearts of many people; he had close friends from many walks of life, and several have been close buddies since kindergarten.

As one of his long-time friends said, “The world is a better place with Chuck in it.”
