Charles William Bostick, Jr passed away February 18, 2022 in Waukegan, Illinois. He was born April 11, 1962 in Kenosha, Wisconsin to Charles and Marlene (Loew) Bostick. He was a landscaper for most of his life, although he enjoyed doing mechanical and body work on cars and gardening. He began racing at Waukegan Speedway, then transitioned to driving a late model at Wilmot Speedway, enjoying many years in the pits piloting the #2 Camaro and becoming known as one of the “Wadsworth Boys”.

Charles is survived by his son, Charles Bostick Ill “Chaz”, his father, Charles Sr., sisters Julie (Joe) Leech and Nancy (John) Esp, Aunts Kat Jackson and Karen (Greg) Orlando, Uncle Thomas Loew, as well as several nephews, niece, cousins, long-time friend Jimmy Creekmore.
