Who Is Late Charles Poettker
Charles Poettker became a native of O’Fallon, Illinois, U.S. State, in 1952. He was the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Poettker Construction.
Chuck made an incredible mark on who Poettker Construction is today. Through his unwavering bravery in the United States Army, he has taught the Poettker Team how to foster and maintain a culture of respect, honesty, courtesy, and teamwork.
He served as a Specialist 4th Class assigned to Alpha Company, 3-187th Infantry Battalion, 101st Airborne Division stationed at Camp Evans, South Vietnam. In April 1971, Poettker and his unit were given orders into Laos to rescue two door gunners and recover the bodies of the pilot and co-pilot of a downed helicopter.
This grueling journey back to safety earned him a U.S. Army Bronze Star for heroic service in a combat zone. He prayed that if he made it out alive, he would dedicate his life to building something of value. Celebrating 41 years of quality work, Poettker Construction is just that today, employing nearly 200 families and working in 26 states.
