I still miss Chuck! Chuck also was a friend of my dad! Also he was my first baseball coach back in 1963, I believe. He always made it fun! Chuck made everything fun. I remember him pulling his car up the hill of our driveway. Pop the trunk, get out his golf clubs and hit balls out of our back yard to the cow pasture. I thought, WOW WOW WOW! He really knocked out of site. I love this man like a father! He went way too soon. May God Bless

Chuck was a long time friend of my father Ralph Mowery who passes away in October of 2007. I think he showed how great of a friend he was to my father by keeping in touch with me, lending an ear to listen to me, giving advice if needed and being a friend to me. His friendship and advice will be missed.
