I remember the early times in our lives when Chuck, Erin and Roseanne used to come down to my parent's house on 23 and play with us and we would do the same going up to Franklin Farms. It seems so long ago and yet it was just a blink in time when compared to the age of the universe. I just wish that I kept in touch with you from time to time as we all grew up. I will miss you Chuck.

Toni and family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. The words sound hollow, but they come from our hearts.
Chuck will be sorely missed in our community. He was a wonderful man and committed Scout Leader. Whenever we think of him, we remember his smiling face, and his dedication to others. He (and you) worked so hard to make Cub Scouts a fun and exciting adventure for the boys, and parents too. He always did a tremendous job for everyone.
For whatever reason, this is all part of God's plan. Trust in Him, and somehow he will carry you through this most difficult sadness. We will keep you, your family, and Chuck in our prayers.
Love,
Jeff Healy
