I will truly miss the best father in law someone could have asked for. I am comforted by the fact that he no longer suffers. Life will not be the same without you. Love and miss you. Say hi to my dad for me. RIP

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
In all ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Chucky was always my one of my favorites out of the whole "corner" group...so sad that he endured so much pain. Kathy. Michelle, Marc and Steven, I hurt for you, yet I know there are no words to make you feel better...believe me, I do. If you need anything, please call...Love you all..

A light from our family is gone. A voice we loved is stilled, A place is empty in our home and heart that can never be filled.
We love you Chucky and will miss you.
