Rene’ L. Anger (“Chuck”) retired master sergeant, USAF, of Valparaiso, Florida went to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, January 18, 2014.
Mr. Anger is preceded in death by his parents, Lionel C. and Aurore B. Anger, a sister Estelle, daughter Jane, infant son Mark, and beloved wife, Hilda. He is survived by his loving daughter, Deborah Anger; three step-sons: John Bledsoe (Cindy), Greg Bledsoe (Keitha), and Paul Bledsoe (Char); grandchildren Joelle Morris, Joshua Bledsoe, Peter Bledsoe, Bret Bledsoe, Amber Bledsoe, Aubrey Bledsoe, and Micah Bledsoe; and great-grandchildren Kace and Chloe Weavers, and Caden and Kilee Morris. He also leaves behind his brother, Robert “Bobby” Anger, and brother at heart, former military comrade, Bob Morton of Greensboro, North Carolina.
Chuck was born in Woonsocket, Rhode Island on August 10, 1926. He entered the military in 1943, serving in the US Navy attached to the Marines, and the US Air Force until his retirement at Eglin, AFB in 1974. He served our country in World War II, surviving the third wave at Iwo Jima, Korea, and four tours of Vietnam/Thailand. In 1965, the USAF started building up the Thai Air Force base at Ubon, Thailand to support the war in Viet Nam. With very little equipment, Chuck, his friend and comrade Bob Morton, and some other fellow airmen helped to put together a base radio station to provide entertainment for the troops.
Following his retirement from the USAF, Chuck remained in broadcast radio, serving for several years as program director for WFSH-Am radio in Valparaiso. He received an AA degree in Criminal Justice, and a BA and MA in Communications from the University of West Florida. He taught Communications and Film History for Troy University, and Okaloosa-Walton Community College (now Northwest Florida State College). Chuck served as the Valparaiso Emergency Management Coordinator for several years.
Chuck loved life, and lived it to the fullest. In his later years, he was happiest when fishing, watching the great films of history with his beloved Hilda, and taking care of his little dog.
