Charles Frank Mills

Beloved brother of Josette (Bruce Sr.) Balkam; devoted uncle of Bruce Jr. and Michael Balkam; dearest friend of many. Charles was preceded in death by his parents the late Charles Frank Sr. and the late Geraldine Billie Kleon.

Charlie was a long time employee of the Chicago Public School system working at Jones College Prep as member of the Diverse Learner team. Charlie also had an incredible passion for working with the theater group. Regardless of his many titles at Jones, everyone will agree that he touched countless lives in the classroom. He was well loved and respected by the students and staff. Losing him has left them with a huge void, he is irreplaceable.

He was an alumni of John F Kennedy High School. Charles was a very humble man, always ready to help someone in need. He enjoyed going to the Museum of Science and Industry, and many White Sox games.

Fond memories of Charlie will live on in the hearts of many and for many generations to that will follow.
