Eureka- Charles "Charlie" Cline Cato, Jr., 72, of Eureka, IL passed away at 1:30p.m. on Friday February 17, 2017 at his residence.
He was born on November 13, 1944 in Herrin, IL a son of Charles Cline Sr. and Nina Louise Casali Cato. He married Dixie Lynn Fetters on July 24, 1965 in Eureka. She passed away on October 11, 1990.

Charlie worked at Hyster Company in Peoria as a tool & die man until 1977. He later worked at AO Smith Harvester in Eureka until it closed in 1984. Charlie then owned and operated Cato Automotive in Eureka until his retirement in 1994.
He was a loving husband, father, brother, and a wonderful grandfather. He had a love of hunting, fishing and camping. Charlie's best times he had with his family were camping along the Mackinaw River. He was quite a story teller, it seems he had a story for every situation. He will be remembered for his kind generosity and warm heart. He never knew a stranger. There wasn't a day that he didn't ask about his family. He will be deeply missed by all of us. Charlie, your daffodils are coming up.
