Hi, Patrick.  This name just leapt out at me - will never forget him from
MAC Bismarck days of yore...

Charles F. Granberg, 83, a hotel executive
           who loved baseball and music, died
           Friday, May 12, in Resurrection Medical
           Center in Chicago of natural causes. Mr.
           Granberg graduated from Amundsen High
           School in Chicago. He was a member of
           the Business Executive Association for
           about 30 years and was president twice.
           Mr. Granberg worked as general manager
           of the Chevy Chase Country Club and
           worked at the Belmont Hotel for many
           years. He served as catering and sales
           manager at the Bismarck Hotel for about
           30 years, retiring in 1990. After
           retirement, his love of baseball came to the
           forefront, and he arranged group trips to
           Cubs games, said his daughter Coralyn
           Peters. In his youth, Mr. Granberg played
           the violin and sang on the radio. "He loved
           show music," Peters said. "He would
           always go where they had piano and
           would sing along. He'd sing from his table.
           People would clap for him." He was also
           a catcher for the Cleveland Indians AAA
           farm club and played baseball in Canada,
           relatives said. Other survivors include two
           other daughters, Cathy Janus and Mary
           Roach; three sons, Charles J., Ben and
           Michael; 16 grandchildren; and nine
           great-grandchildren. A funeral will be held
           at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at Smith-Corcoran
           Funeral Home, 6150 N. Cicero Ave. Mass
           will be said at Queen of All Saints
           Basilica, 6280 N. Sauganash Ave.,
           Chicago, at 10 a.m.
