CHARLES PATRICK "CHUCK" CUMMINGS ~ Class of 1972
December 7, 1953 - May 16, 2005

Charles Patrick Cummings was born in Richland, WA on December 7, 1953 to William and Victoria Cummings. 
He is survived by his loving wife, Patricia and children; Jennifer, a freshman at the Univ. of WA,
and Tyler, a sophomore at River Ridge High School. He is also survived by his "Mom Fran", sisters 
Billie ('62WB) and Pam, and brothers Mike and Rick.

Known to his friends and family as "Chuck", he moved from Richland in 1959 to Pleasanton, CA where he
finished his primary education. In 1968 he moved to Los Alamos, NM where he stayed until 1970 when his
family returned to Richland. He has been a permanent resident of Washington State for the past 35 years.

Chuck graduated from Columbia High School in Richland in 1972 as class Valedictorian with a perfect
4.0 grade point average. He was also named as the Scholar-Athlete for the school in 1972, lettering
in tennis. He graduated Cum Laude with a B.S. in Biology from the Univ. of WA in 1976. He also 
attended the Univ. of WA Medical School for over 2 years.

Chuck was employed the last 19 years with the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, 
during which he held positions as Medicaid Fraud Investigator, Medical Program Specialist for the Dept.
of Corrections and finally as the Manger, Office of Payment and Review and Audit.

Chuck enjoyed participating in tennis and golf, and watching all types of sports. He was a particularly
avid fan of the Univ. of WA Huskies, Oakland Raiders, San Francisco 49ers, San Francisco Giants, and of
course every sports team from Seattle.

His greatest joy was being involved in his own children's sports programs as both a mentor and a fan. 
A very private person, Chuck dedicated his time to his family and close friends.

Chuck will always be remembered by his family as a dedicated husband and father. Always game for 
adventure, he led his family on travels throughout the western United States. He will be remembered 
by his co-workers as a brilliant auditor and analyst dedicated to his profession, supervisors
and subordinates.
