To Beth,
I was saddened to hear about the passing of Chuck. I have such wonderful memories from the times in Abilene. I often tell the story how we dressed up as Sonny and Cher one Halloween. He was a kind and caring man that will be missed but not forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

To the Haggerty Family,
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Chuck. I always enjoyed your dad's company and always felt welcomed in your home. Our sons still talk about how much fun they had fishing at the pond and shooting blue rock that one 4th of July at your place. Chuck will be missed, but keep him in your hearts and minds and he'll never be forgotten.
