Charles Barancik Obituary

Barancik, Charles and Margery A six decade love story ended December 18-19 with the sudden passing of Charles Leonard Barancik (1928) and Margery Kay Lippa Barancik (1936). Residents of Sarasota, FL and Northbrook, IL, Chuck (son of Henry and Carrie) and Margie (daughter of Lou and Portia) are survived by sons Steve (Lisa), Scott (Rebecca) and daughter Wendy. They were the adoring grandparents of Isabel, Dahlia, Hannah and Savannah. Chuck is survived by siblings Shirley, Richard (Claire) and Maury (Maija). Margie's beloved sister, Nancy Lippa Rosen Davis, predeceased them, as did their sister-in-law Sue. Numerous nieces, nephews and cousins made Margie's and Chuck's lives still richer. The Baranciks live on in their Charles and Margery Barancik Foundation, a Sarasota-based philanthropic organization focused on children and families, poverty, the arts, and environmental stewardship. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to JFCS of the Suncoast or the charity of your choice.

My father and I took care of the Barancik's pool for 35 years. I can say he was on of my favorites. I will never forget him and his lovely wife.

So very sad.

I worked for Mr. B for 10 years out of high school before moving out of state.

Mr. B was a very generous man who always would stop to say hi while in our office.

Rest in peace Mr. B & Margery.

My heart hurts reading this. They both were amazing people. I worked for Mr. B from 1972 to 1994 when he sold Justrite and i still work there. He always had a smile on his face, was so kind and cared about his employees. Such a generous man.

My deepest condolences to the family. I will keep you all in prayer.
