To Jane and family, this news is as strange to me as can be. Chuck was a friend, one time boss at albuquerque, fellow dec'ie, and he created a load of memories with a lot of people over the years. such is the way with friendships... john curtis, now in MD

Dear Jane and family,
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Chuck was a friend and was responsible for my transfer from Maynard to the new Phoenix facility in the mid 70's.
His group was to open the Phoenix plant and his technician, Hank Retdstat wanted to stay in Maynard. Hank asked me if I wanted to take his place. We asked Chuck if this would be possible..he and my manager agreed and that move changed my life and my family.
I will always be indebted to Chuck for this move.
God be with you all.

Ed Warwick,
An old DECie

Dear Jane and family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. we all will miss his humor and friendship.
Chuck was responsible for my transfer from Maynard to the new ( at that time ) facility in Phoenix. He was the Manager of a technician named Hank Retstadt who wanted to remain in Maynard instead of relocating to Phoenix, so I spoke to my Manager and he agreed to allow Hank and I to switch, making it possible for me to transfer to Phoenix.
The move changed my life as well as my family.
I will never forget Chuck.
You are in my prayers,

Ed Warwick,
and old DECie

Dear Jane & Family,
I'd like to offer my sympathy to all of you on Chuck's passing. I have great memories of him during our working days at DEC, both in Phoenix & Maynard. His candid approach always had a very positive influence on those around him.

Sincerely

To Jane and family....
I had the absolute pleasure of knowing and working with Chuck from the late '60's at DEC. I always enjoyed his laughter (like a lion's ROAR) and even enjoyed when he crushed me in our occasional lunchtime hearts games. I'm certain that his passing has left a great hole in everyone's lives, but know that he filled our lives while he was here!
