Lynne and I extend our condolences to Colleen over the loss of Chuck. Your support during these last few years gave him strength and happiness. I was sorry not to be able to attend his memorial. I was out of town doing what he loved to do..travel and take photos.

I am so sorry that I didn't see this earlier. I knew Chuck a very long time--he was my date for our senior prom! After being gone from LA for 40 years, I am sorry that I didn't have many opportunities to see him and meet his family when I returned. I remembeer Chuck with fond memories. My condolences to his family.

Dear Shuken Family,
I 'm so sorry for your loss. I knew Charles years ago through the Ivy League Business Breakfast. He was always so helpful and friendly.

Colleen and Caryn, my heart goes out to you both. It's hard to believe that I had seen and hugged all three of you so recently---it warms my heart. He was a very special man; from afar, my prayers and thoughts are with you now and always.

Condolences to the family. I remember Chuck from Sunday School at Wilshire Blvd. Temple and the youth group (TAG) activities. He was always easy-going, friendly, and lots of fun; I had a bit of a crush on him, too! [email protected].
