Chuck was my saviour, my confidante, my mentor, my brother. Oh, how we laughed together, cried together, sang together, danced together, played together. So many, many backyard parties together.....over the years we shared a love that grew wiser with a deep understanding and respect for one another. You were one of the very rare and beautiful people to have walked on Mother Earth. Such an amazing and respected man......and I so very blessed to have you in my life. Life will certainly be different, challenging with you gone.
You are.......and will always be.....my HERO, my EVERYTHING.
Thank you, Chuck, for being my best friend and for loving me unconditionally. I will miss you every day.
Hope you are dancing now! With love always, your Skeezits.....Diana
(the ONLY regret I have in our 19 years of friendship was for not marrying you. Shame on me! Next time around, I promise!!!).

I will miss Chucky forever. VERY SPECIAL MAN to me! Used to watch "Friends" when show first came out. GREAT memories. Laughed a lot. Tori, now 11, spent a lot of her childhood years at Chucky's and Nana's. A man dedicated to loving others, sharing his intelligence, making you smile, NEVER COMPLAINED ABOUT HIS PAIN, showed strength and pride in everything he touched, tangible or intangible. He opened his home for get-togethers, amazing food, and cherished memories forever in my family. I love you Chucky and will miss you!!!!, your Baby Duck - Sharmane Lukasik

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I never got to meet him, but I do know his sisters and his loving mom well. May God's great love help you all thru the healing process.
