I have no words to take away the pain and fill the void the loss of this amazing person has created in so many lives!! "Pops" was and will always be a part of our lives. Privileged as we were to have known him for 30+ years, he instilled in my sons a "T.E.A.M." spirit that will remain all their days. Trust, Encourage, Affirm, and Motivate....there will never be a day on the wrestling mats that we don't recall a time with you!
All our thoughts and prayers to this incredibly strong family.

A VOICE FROM BEYOND

I've passed into a better place of which there is no pain.
So loved one keep your grieving short, your loss has been my gain

My state is far much better then the one that you behold
It's the hope that I've been looking for in the days when I'd grow old.

Though grief may oft consume you with thoughts about our past
Life must go on so please be strong, this grieving will not last.

This place is awe inspiring with much array to view.
I've been so overwhelmed with it, I've hardly thought of you.

My first day on location I was anything but bored,
My first known recollection I was looking at the Lord.

The colors are fantastic beyond your wildest dreams.
Ensuing from His throne on high, an emerald rainbow streams.

Enough about my bliss for now, the problem's you're forlorn,
And how to rectify the day, from which our love was torn.

The secret to life's happiness is not all that absurd.
It's found with-in the Mighty Script of God's Eternal Word.

So keep yourself in hope I ask make the Bible your main quest
And the Lord will surely comfort you and put your heart at rest.

Make sure my love of which you trust in abundance of profession
It must be Jesus, not the church, to support your strong confession.

Finally love with much ado use not your loss for scorning.
Weeping may endure the night but joy cometh in the morning.

By Charles D. Bickett Jr.

Sue and Family,
Mary and I want to express our condolence in the loss of a truly great man. Chuck was one of the finest men there are, always willing and more than able in so many ways. He was so tireless. intelligent, and curious about everything; what a great husband, father, and friend he was as well. I loved working with Chuck, as I learned so much as we worked. The world is a lesser place without him. Love to all of you.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Pops. He helped both of our boys grow and learn through his coaching with wrestling, and just being there for them. He was always kind and supportive every time we saw him, and it was always a pleasure to run into him wherever our paths crossed. He is and will be truly missed. Sincerely, Mike and Brenda Luthy with Michael and Nicholas.
