HARRINGTON - Charles L. "Chuck" Busker of Harrington died Wednesday, July 4, 2007, in his home on the family farm, surrounded by his loving wife and children. He was 54.
Mr. Busker was born in Dover, son of the late Charles L. and Marlyn (Rowlinson) Busker.
He was a 1970 graduate of John Bassett Moore High School in Smyrna.
Mr. Busker was a self-employed dairy farmer. The family farm operation, which he started in 1979 and now involves both his son and daughter, was his life"s work and a great source of joy to him.
He took great satisfaction in volunteering and serving others. He was always there when needed, and you could always count on him. You always knew what was on his mind because he would tell you like it was.
Mr. Busker will be remembered as a loving husband and father who instilled his love of farming into his children.
He was a life member of both the Citizens Hose Co. of Smyrna, and the Harrington Volunteer Fire Co. He took great pride in the opportunity to be part of the fire service. He was also a member of the Burrsville Ruritan Club, the Delaware Holstein Association and the Lake Forest FFA Advisory Council.
Mr. Busker was always very supportive of his children"s activities, whether Little League, 4-H, FFA or the Delaware State Fair, and was always there when needed.
He is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Charmayne Busker of Harrington; a son, Philip C. Busker and his girlfriend Annie Storope, both of Harrington; a daughter, Sara E. Busker of Harrington; his father-in-law, Philip Pierson of Clayton; his sisters, Valerie S. Klinger of Lancaster, Pa., and M. Mischelle Mumford of Rehoboth Beach; his brother and sister-in-law, Wayne and Patty Pierson of Clayton; and five nieces.
Funeral services will be 1 p.m. Sunday in Harrington Volunteer Fire Co. Friends may call from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday in Melvin Funeral Home, 15522 S. DuPont Highway, Harrington.
Instead of flowers, the family suggests contributions to the Delaware 4-H Foundation, 113 Townsend Hall, 531 S. College Ave., Newark, DE 19716-2210.
