Remembering Charles "Charlie" Racusin April 24, 1946 - September 12, 2026
With a broken heart, I share the passing of Charles Robert Racusin—our CEO and visionary at WaterLogic, Texas, and my beloved husband of 29 years.
Charlie was passionate about the green industry. After owning his first landscape company in the 1970s, he saw firsthand how much water was being wasted on large commercial properties. That experience inspired his vision for better water management—a vision that became central to WaterLogic, Texas and its purpose.
Throughout his career, he earned the trust of clients and the loyalty of employees who worked alongside him for many years. His meticulous attention to detail, creative spirit, and commitment to customer service shaped the companies he led. He believed in making a lasting impression -he was imaginative, determined, and always held himself and his companies to the highest standards.
As his wife and colleague, I had the privilege of seeing that same care in our life together. He brought that same attention to detail to his other important role—CFO, Chief Food Officer. Charlie loved gathering family and friends around the table, creating memories over copious amounts of delicious food and always searching for the perfect wine pairing. Those meals, conversations, and moments together are among the memories I will treasure most.
Sharing both a marriage and a working life with him gave us so much to be proud of. It also meant many spirited conversations in the office and around the dinner table, along with countless everyday moments that I will forever cherish and miss.
Our WaterLogic, Texas office is closed today, September 15, to honor Charlie’s life and legacy and to allow our team to pay their respects.
To our clients, employees, colleagues, and friends: thank you for your kindness and understanding. His legacy lives on in the people he inspired, the relationships he built, and our continued commitment to conserving water and serving our clients with care.
Charlie, thank you for the life we shared, for the memories we created, and for all the love and laughter along the way. I will carry your love and the memories we made with me always.
As he loved to say, “Life is a Fiesta”.
His Loving Wife
