Chuck will be missed. A true and loyal friend, up for anything...white water rafting, softball, fishing, Phillies, road trips...Quick with a smile, fast with an insult..A real Man's Man.

I think of Chuck and I think of the good times together. All of the softball games and the pig roasts and the times spent whitewater rafting in the mountains of West Virginia. And of course the Shore Mall Tavern itself along with the bus trips to Phillies and Eagle games. Chuck knew how to live and have fun and I’m glad I was there to enjoy it with him. You take care partner, wherever you are.
