Hey Chuck. We were only friends for a few years, but in that time, you were a great friend. Talented, funny and a true friend. Thanks for treating me like a normal person instead of the way some treat me. You will be sorely missed!! Eric Knudsen...Formerly of Melbourne FL

Chuck was one of the best people I have ever known in my life. His gentle nature and good humor were always a welcome distraction in an otherwise crazy world. I will miss playing music and making films with him. I know that heaven is a more lively place now that he is there.
