Charles was born on September 26, 1943, in Quincy Township, Wisconsin, to Walter and Katherine (Heitman) Pollex. He was raised on the family farm and graduated from White Creek School, Castle Rock School and Adams-Friendship High School in 1961. He went on to attend the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he earned his undergraduate and law degrees. While completing law school, Charles also taught in Mount Horeb. He graduated from UW Law School in 1968.
On April 8, 1967, Charles married Sharon Lee Boerner in Adams, Wisconsin. After beginning his career teaching Business Law and Math in Reedsburg, he returned to Adams County and was elected District Attorney, a role he served in for three terms. In 1976, he formed a law partnership with Don Hollman, practicing for 25 years. Charles also served as Corporation Counsel, Family Court Commissioner in 1991, City Attorney for the City of Adams for many years, and as Town Attorney for several area Townships. In 2003, Charles was elected as a judge in Adams County, where he served two terms with distinction before retiring in 2015.
Chuck also loved farming, and would leave his legal work in town and go straight to the fields. He also loved fishing & hunting, and made time with all of that with his siblings, friends, children & grandchildren.
Deeply devoted to his community, Charles served on the Adams County Memorial Hospital Board. He coached Little League baseball and Bantam basketball, and remained active in local sports, playing baseball into his 50s for teams including Easton and the AF Angels.
A lifelong member of St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Charles served in many leadership roles, including as President and Elder, and occasionally led services in the pastor’s absence. His faith, integrity, and service to family and others were hallmarks of his life.
Chuck was preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Katherine; his son, Eric; and his brother, Fred.

To the Pollex family, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Chuck was a special person and made friends with most that he met. He was definitely an intelligent man and shared it with his friends. Judy and myself were lucky enough to couples bowl with Chuck and Sharon for more than 15 years, alot of fun.

Chuck will certainly be missed by many, but he in a better place looking down on all of us. RIP Chuck, Dennis&Judy
