Rezansoff; sister-in-law Carol (Chuck) Knauft; brother-in-law, Daniel (Penny) Rezansoff; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and close friends. For over 20 years Charlie owned and operated a residential construction business, Decks Unlimited, and was known for his fine workmanship and good advice. Charlie had a very positive attitude and lived each day to the fullest. He had a broad range of interests including history, antiques, reading, hunting, fishing and golf and was an avid sports fan. Charlie loved to spend time at the cottage at Madge Lake where he was a formidable and highly competitive opponent at Monopoly and Scrabble.
