Charles R. " Cork" Walgreen III, former president, CEO, chairman of the board and chairman emeritus of the Deerfield-based drugstore chain Walgreen Co., died Monday at his home in Lake Forest. He was 80.

The cause of death was not released, said Walgreens spokesman Michael Polzin.

Walgreen III was the grandson of Charles R. Walgreen Sr., who founded the 115-year-old pharmacy retailer that now is included in the retail pharmacy USA division of Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc.

Born in Chicago on Nov. 11, 1935, he was the son of Mary Ann Leslie and Charles R. Walgreen Jr., and the third Walgreen to lead the company.

Last year, Walgreen III attended the fall luncheon of the Walgreen Alumni Association as a special guest in recognition of his 80th birthday. Among the crowd of several hundred people was Alex Gourlay, co-chief operating officer of Walgreens Boots Alliance.

" As I listened to the tributes and spoke with Mr. Walgreen, I was struck again by how he led our company -- with a great singular focus on his customers, with humility and a very clear sense that Walgreens needed
to stand for value and care in the community," Gourlay said in a statement. " He made courageous decisions in that straightforward framework and built the Walgreens we know today as customers, employees and partners.
I counted myself grateful whenever I was fortunate enough to spend time with him and his family."

Walgreen III had an early start in 1952 on his 58-year Walgreens career. He started as a stock boy after school and on vacations. He later entered the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where he earned his bachelor' s
degree in pharmacy in 1958. He returned to Walgreens in his first professional capacity in 1959 as a pharmacist at the store at 7510 N. Western Ave. in Chicago.
