Charles "Chuck" E. Blahnik, age 72, of Seymour, passed away Saturday, April 2, 2011, at the Good Shepherd Nursing Home in Seymour. He was born on May 31, 1938, son of the late John and Mildred (Eiting) Blahnik. Chuck along with his wife, Carmie, farmed in the town of Seymour for many years and later he ran a successful crop insurance agency.

Dad had a passion for Sales and the opportunity to meet people. He loved to travel the countryside and visit with his friends and customers. He had a smile that could light up room and that smile charmed the wonderful caretakers he had in the final years and days of his life. But that smile shined brightest when the love of his life, Carmie, walked in the room.
