Just about 40 years ago Chuck became a part of my life in a very special unforgetable way. Many years past and I found we were neighbors once again. He truly knew the meaning of friendship and neighborliness. Ride on Chuck. You left an indelable impression on many folks.

I was saddened to hear of the early passing of Chuck. Although I haven't kept in touch with him in many years, I remember well both him and his sister Lynn as childhood friends, growing up together and living next door to me in Pennsauken. Later as teenagers Chuck and I had many an adventure together and explored many things getting into the normal mischief boys of that age get into :-) And later on as young adults it continued at places like the Cove and Lena's...
Reading some of the other tributes, it seems that he carried over many of those same easy going, fun loving and adventuresome qualities as a man throughout his life with his many friends. It's nice to be remembered that way.
My warmest thoughts and prayers go out to his sister Lynn, his father (who was very good to us as kids) and the rest of his family and friends as Chuck rides into the sunset...
