Ault, Charles L. 65 01/09/1945 11/24/2010 Charles Leslie Ault died unexpectedly Nov. 24, 2010, of cardiac arrest at the age of 65. Chuck was born to Jake and Inez Ault in January 1945, the eldest of three children. Graduating from Jefferson High School in 1963, he went on to a career as an officer with the Portland Police Bureau retiring in 1999 after 30 years of service. Thereafter and until his death he was employed by Portland Patrol Inc., supporting the bureau in downtown Portland. In 1994 Parade Magazine honored Chuck as one of America's top police officers for the year, noting, "during his 24-year career, Ault nabbed 32 bank robbers-10 in 1993 alone" which earned him "acclaim not only from the FBI, but also from banks across America." A classic car enthusiast throughout his life, Chuck became a devoted member of the Mustang Wranglers and regularly displayed his 1966 Mustang Fastback in regional car shows and events. He also enjoyed time spent with his grandchildren, whom he adored. Chuck's loss is mourned by his fianc‚e Christy Hoffman; children, Ian Charles and Daedra Brandy; son-in-law, Justin Buntin; grandchildren, Adrienne, Jake, and Ruby; colleagues; extended family, and friends. He was predeceased by his parents; and brother, J. Dean Ault.
