Charles Brinkman Obituary

Chuck and I became friends in law school. He was a buddy of mine in the true sense of the word and after many years apart, I thought of him today only to learn of his passing. My deepest condolences to you and my life was enriched by his friendship.

It was with profound sadness that I heard of Chuck's passing. He was a lifelong friend who was raised next door to me. We were classmates at Quin, Oak Ridge, and Stagg. he was always willing to volunteer and help others both at school and in the community. He was definitely a leader and was respected by everyone.
my condolences to Judy, Jean , Pam, and all of his family and friends. Rest in peace, my friend.

Chuck was a good friend. His passing makes me think of our days at Stagg. That's me, number 52, in the photo Mike Ramondi posted. My sons never met him, but they know him from the stories I tell. I'll be telling them more in the days to come. My condolences to his family.

Dear Brinkman family, we were so sorry to hear of your loss. Keeping you close in thought. Praying that, with time, good thoughts and memories will bring you peace.

Brinkman Family - Please accept my sympathy on your great loss. Chuck was First Chair in my courtroom for quite a while. He was an excellent prosecutor, stood up for his partners, always dealt with opposing counsel not as enemies, but simply temporary opponents, and, above all, was a fine and decent human being.

Judy, Jean, and Pam,
My deepest sympathies to you during this sad time. May you memories help you during this difficult time.

God bless you in your sorry sending prayers to all of you

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. We will keep you in our prayers

Chuck Brinkman was a true friend and coworker. We started out together in Traffic Court as new Cook County State's Attorneys and later worked together in Bridgeview and Markham. Chuck was a loyal friend who always had my back. I will miss him. Rest in peace.

We were sad to learn of Charlie's passing. We fondly remember playing with Charlie as children at his
parent's home in Palos. Our Mother, Lillian Semeniuk was a good friend of his Mother, Lauretta.
We lived in Chicago at that time, (only 67th & Kedzie,), and we were always excited to visit what we thought was the country. This was in the 1950's and 60's, with lots of open land. We all had such fun together.
God Bless the Brinkman family at this time. Our prayers and deep sympathy are with you all.

I first met Chuck at football workouts right before starting freshman year at Stagg. He was a guy who was always ready to help someone out, and who brought a serious intensity to everything he undertook. He set high standards for himself and encouraged those around him to do the same. My condolences to his family.

Chuck was such a great role model, he was one year ahead of me although school from Quin all the way through Stagg.

Sorry for your loss I remember growing up with Charles he was a lot of fun and taught me several things to remember.

My deepest sympathy to Chuck’s family. I have so many fond memories of Chuck throughout junior high and high school. Chuck was the life of the party, sweetly sentimental, intelligent and destined for success. We shared many social and extracurricular activities together in school and I considered him one of my closest friends. God bless you, Chuck....heaven is lucky to have you as one of it’s angels.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

he was a great guy. a friend from grade school thru high school. you will be missed. R.I.P. my friend.

God Bless and keep you Charles. May you rest in peace my friend. You were a good friend of mine in school and I will not forget you.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time.
