My family has a long history with UB. Chuck worked with my father, my uncle, my mother, my husband and me. It's sad to say goodbye but we're were blessed to have known him.
The road will rise to meet him.

Chuck, Rick and Sharon,
No words can ever describe the loss of someone so close, and no words can heal the loss of someone so special in our lives. It's my hope that with each and every passing day yous will learn to hold your dad near and dear in your heart and at the same time have smiles replacing every tear. In time you will see happy things, and you will know that he is there with you also smiling.
