On April 6th , 2024, Charles “Chuck” Lindenau gained his eternal rest. He was a true born and raised in the little town of New London. Born on October 21st , 1936 at the New London Hospital, and lived in New London his entire 87 years of life. Through the course of his time he has held several occupations, including owning what was once the Shell Station and Wrecker business. He is most known for his 30 plus years of hauling water to his numerous customers. If he wasn’t in his water truck, he was tinkering on his numerous cars or busy cutting wood. He never met a stranger that he was not willing to help. Most importantly Chuck dedicated much of his later years to his Faith. He was an active member of Our Lady of Lourdes choir, along with tasks throughout the Church. After any conversation with Chuck, he would always conclude with the phrase, “Take care, be good, and may the Good Lord take a liking to ya.” Chuck is preceded in death by his wife, Janet Lindenau (Howard), grandson Collin Hovatter, parents Peter and Irene (Draves) Lindenau, and brother Richard Hook. He is survived by his four children Christopher Lindenau, Andrew Lindenau, Alexandria (Joseph) Hovatter, Elizabeth (David) Dvorak, several grandchildren, and Sister Paulette Rawdon (Lindenau).
