February 9, 2006 Charley's Crab and the death of Chuck Muer Chuck Muer grew up in Michigan and opened a restaurant there in October of 1964. Later, he opened a restaurant named Charley's Crab in Palm Beach, Florida. Their seafood is indescribably good and I've been scarfing meals at the Charley's Crab in Palm Beach for over a decade. Predictably, word about the food leaked out, so more Charley's Crabs popped up in South Florida like mushrooms after a spring rain. The tragedy is the story of poor Chuck's demise. Here's a guy that had everything to live for.

Here's a guy that was making money hand over fist, living in Palm Beach Florida. Bought a sweet 40 foot boat and named it 'Charley's Crab'. He sailed back and forth between the Bahamas, which is pretty much the thing to do on the Treasure Coast. In the summer, crossing over to the Bahamas is a cake walk. You could cross over to Grand Bahama Island in a 14 foot flat bottom boat with an outboard and a few jerry cans of gas. Plenty of people make the crossing without the aid of a GPS receiver.

My brother-in-law said he and his brother used to do it all the time with nothing more than a compass. Accounting for the Gulf Stream, they'd just head East South-East for 4 hours across the open ocean in a 20 foot boat and watch for Memory Rock on the horizon. In the winter, the seas are rough, but in the summer, unless there's a hurricane, the oceans are generally calm and the crossing is a cake walk. Chuck Muer had a big boat.

A 40 foot boat is a large boat. Now, I know, there are bigger boats. However rich you think you are, South Florida can be an humbling place. You pull into the dock and some guy next to you anchors his yacht and he's got rescue boats the size of your boat hanging from cranes over the stern of his vessel. But a 40 foot boat is a big boat. I've made the crossing more times I can count in boats ranging from 27 feet to cruise ships.

But a 40 foot boat is a large boat and is certainly capable of making the crossing in anything shy of a full-blown hurricane. On March 13th of 1993, Charles and Betty Muer and their friends George and Lynn Drummey attempted to cross back from the Bahamas when a freak storm blew up. The storm hit much more quickly, further South, and with greater intensity than had been forecasted. By the time the freak March storm left Florida, it had and done $500 million in damages. Then Governor wrote a scathing letter lambasting the National Weather Service for their poor forecasting. Chuck Muer's party had probably nearly completed the crossing before they heard any forecast of an impending storm on their marine radio. By the time they knew of the storm, it was too late.

Battling in the pre-dawn blackness, Chuck Muer placed two calls at 4:25 a.m. And 4:27 a.m. To Palm Beach County's emergency center. But each time, there was only the crackle of static on the line. They never found a trace from the wreck, and they searched like it mattered. They mounted a massive search and rescue operation, because the guy was as rich as Croesus, so they searched for him like it mattered.

This wasn't a Coast Guard search for a Hatian clinging to a palm tree in the Gulf Stream. This was a 'Holy Sh1t a jillionaire is missing calling-all-cars search-and-rescure' and they never found a trace of him. Later, the freak storm would be called the ', the ', or the 'Storm With No Name'.

(This was not the 'Perfect Storm' of October 1991 that sank the Andrea Gail.) In the aftermath of the tragic deaths, we are predictably left with a cacaphony of reverberating wrongful death lawsuits revolving around and the. In September of 2002, that dreadful blight of corporate cuisine known as.

Rest In Peace Chuck Muer, Betty Muer, George Drummey, and Lynn Drummey. Update: Posted by Peenie Wallie on February 9, 2006 at 9:42 AM Comments. I worked for Chuck Muer Restaurants for almost 20 years as Payroll Administrator for his Pittsburgh restaurant. Chuck was the kind of guy who might have been rich but he was approachable.down to earth and you could talk to him. When he came to town, he made the time to listen and talk to anyone who came up to him whether it was a manager or a dishwasher. In his restaurants all employees and their jobs were important.

I can still recall that day, March 13th, 1993 when one of our new Vice Presidents got off the phone and told me of Chuck's disappearance. Even months after that we half expected him to walk in the restaurant at any time.

Tillman Fertitta could never fill Chuck Muer's shoes, I don't care how many restaurants he buys up. It's not the same since Landry's took over. They are all about the money.Chuck was all about the customer, the employees and the best service we could provide.

My heart still goes out to the Muer and Drummey families on their loss. Posted by: Adrienne Franco on April 8, 2007 at 3:51 PM. Barbara, I did a cruise in the out-islands of the Bahamas on Charley's Crab in 1982, and Dick and Ellie Davidson were our skipper and first mate. They were fantastic people. We had tons of fun with them, cruising the peaceful waters on the lee side of all the islands. I remember that Dick loved African drumming, and we listened to all his tapes.

We also heard a lot of hilarious stories about his career in advertising. One night we were moored in the channel off the coast of a little uninhabited island, cooking dinner on deck. There were a couple of other boats moored closer in toward shore, and their crews were also cooking on deck.

At a certain point, Dick looked at his watch and said, 'Watch this.' The crews of the other boats were suddenly attacked by swarms of marauding mosquitoes, and everyone scrambled for cover. Being further offshore, we had a nice breeze to blow the bugs away. Dick knew his stuff. At the end of the trip, Chuck and Betty Muer showed up, and Chuck insisted on taking the boat outside, into the open waters of the Atlantic. Dick was not thrilled with this plan.

My wife and I were utterly seasick and miserable. Posted by: Michael Krugman on September 24, 2008 at 9:16 PM. I think it was the second week of September 2010 that I was at Charley's Crab in Troy, MI, and the waitress said, 'Hope to see you soon' as I left. Two weeks later, my fiance' told me she'd heard from her mom that it had closed.

The scant details that I could find on the internet stated that the waitstaff weren't even told of this stupid move by Landry's, showing up for work, only to find none. I previously knew nothing of Landry's, but had a bad feeling when they started making their presence known by taking over the Muer Friends program. Now I know the feeling was very valid. You hit the nail on the head. Landry's sucks.

Chuck Muer Obituary

She is the Executive Chef and Chief Operating Officer for Steiny’s Restaurant and Banquet Hall. Her high energy and she sincerely does enjoy designing and preparing every menu item and special that is offered at Steiny’s. This is truly what makes Steiny’s so different than any restaurant in the Shelby Township area. Cheryl’s founding principles of ‘made from scratch’ cuisine and offering exceptional service what makes Steiny’s great. What other restaurant can you go to and have Stuffed Cabbage in a banquet setting or know that the owner went to the state of Main to sample as many Lobster items before launching LobsterFest? The love is in the food and the enjoyment on each guest’s face when they dine with us.

Cheryl is known by her peers and in the community for ‘Giving Back’ there isn’t a local fundraiser or charity she doesn’t seem to be involved in; especially if it involves children. If they ask, her response has always been; ‘My Pleasure’ Giving back is among the most important and valuable things a person can do. Jeff Steinhurst The name “Steiny’s” originates from Jeff’s childhood. He was called “Steiny,” a nick-name for Steinhurst. Owning a business is nothing new to Jeff. His family owned a restaurant while he was growing up. His father was a retired state trooper and managed the restaurant.

His mother designed and implemented all of the recipes for the facility. With all family members working and supporting the business it was a great success. His parents sold the business then re-retired. One of Jeff’s many talents is his ability to fix anything. If it breaks, you will find Jeff on site fixing it. He calls himself the ‘Chief cook and bottle washer’ he does it all when needed.

Most of Steiny’s re-model in 2015 was executed by Jeff. Jeff isn’t on site as much anymore; he has been working over twenty years in the software technology field and slowly working towards retirement.
