Charles Gramigna age 91, of Vernon Hills, Illinois, passed away peacefully on February 19, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on January 24, 1935, in Oaklyn, New Jersey, to Joseph and Jane Gramigna, Charles lived a life defined by devotion—to his country, his faith, and most especially, his family. Charles proudly served his nation as a member of the United States Army, carrying with him throughout his life the values of duty, honor, and perseverance. His strength of character and steady presence were evident to all who knew him. A former member of Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, Charles' faith was an important foundation in his life. He believed in the quiet power of kindness, humility, and service to others—principles he demonstrated daily. Charles had a remarkable ability to fix almost anything. Whether it
was a household repair, a small engine, or a project that others had given up on, he approached every task with patience and determination. He found joy in working with his hands, and his family often relied on his steady expertise and willingness to help. He treasured time spent with his loved ones, especially the cherished spring break trips that brought the family together year after year. Those trips were filled with laughter, stories, and memories that will be carried forward for generations. An avid fisherman, Charles found particular happiness casting his line in the waters of Texas. Fishing was more than a pastime—it was his place of peace, reflection, and quiet contentment. Whether the catch was plentiful or modest, he valued the experience and the time shared with family and friends. Above all, Charles will be remembered as a
loving father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. His steady guidance, gentle humor, and unwavering love created a foundation of strength and security for his family. His legacy lives on in the lessons he taught, the memories he helped create, and the love he so generously gave
