Charles Anthony Didier (Chuck) was born on December 8, 1956, in Sidney, Nebraska. He died on November 25, 2023, in Eureka.

Chuck grew up in Portland, Oregon, and attended school there. In the 1980s, he moved with his family, their amazing dog, Bruno, and his Harley, to Humboldt County. There, Chuck and his wife, Laura, owned and operated Arcata Moving & Storage. Then, in the 1990s, Chuck and his wife, Ronda, opened an antique store in the historic “Eagle House.” Ronda named it “Sanford’s Antiques and Collectibles” after her pet name for Chuck — “Sanford.” Later, they relocated it to the world-famous “Stump House” on Broadway. Chuck and his friends had restored this landmark and it remained “Sanfords” until it was dismantled and stored for museum display.

Chuck was a lover of cool cars ànd had many. He was well-known for his hot rods. He loved rock and roll music, collecting marbles, his parrots and riding his Harley.

Chuck was preceded in death by his father, George; his mother, Elena; his sister, Mary; his second wife, Ronda; and, his great-nephew, Cody. He leaves behind his brother, Robert and wife, Rosie; his sister, Tricia and husband Mark; his brother, Mike; his stepchildren, Anthony and wife Jennifer, and Sara and wife Emily; his first wife, Laura; his third partner, Linda; his nephews and nieces; his close friend, Mike; and his many friends.

Chuck was a strong man, a man of high values and standards with a wicked sense of humor. He loved people and helped so many. He lived a lot of life. Intelligent, talented, and entertaining, he never slowed down and he ruled his world. Chuck is well-loved and will be greatly missed. We will meet him at the crossroads.
