Charles (Chuck) E. Kadrie

Charles E. Kadrie, well-known Roseville businessman

Born in 1942 to Mel and Dorothy Kadrie, Chuck attended the University of Minnesota before beginning a successful career in sales with Sperry UNIVAC. He later worked for 3M, Coastal Dynamics, and Northland Hockey before transitioning into commercial real estate. Since 1989, he owned the Roseville Professional Center.

Chuck enjoyed spending summers at his lake home on Lake Josephine and winters in Tierra Verde and Bayway Isles in St. Petersburg, Florida. An avid golfer, he was a longtime member of Midland Hills Country Club and St. Petersburg Country Club, where he enjoyed the game, the friendships, and sharing stories drawn from his remarkable memory for people and places.

In 1986, Chuck married Gert Cook-Gardner, bringing together two families who spent many summers boating and gathering at Lake Josephine. He was preceded in death by his parents as well as his stepson Tony Gardner. He is survived by his wife, Gert; his sons, Todd (Sue) Kadrie and Brett (Mary Lynn) Kadrie; his grandchildren, Matt, Anna, and Will; Gert's children, Geno (Suzanne) and Gina; two step-grandchildren and five step-great-grandchildren.

Chuck will be remembered for his work ethic, his entrepreneurial spirit, his love of golf and the lake, and the many friendships he built throughout his life.
