I grew up with Chuck and have many fond memories of him. He was daring and mischievous with a great sense of humor and a spirit of adventure. As a kid, Chuck tried to portray a tough exterior. But underneath it all, Chuck had a heart of gold and was a loyal friend. I'm so very glad to have known Chuck.

Chuck was an awsome friend and a great father. He will be missed much by those who knew him. When someone so full of life has it end so abruptly you gotta ask the question "WHY!" Well, we don't know why and probably never will but i hope there is a really good reason for it. I think God just needed a good worker for some repairs in heaven. Thats my theory and I am sticking to it. His Legacy will live on through his wonderful children. Love you and miss you brother!

Chuck and his brother and sisters were my neighbors growing up in Harvard. I used to baby sit them on occasion and my sister and I and all the Schiller kids would play together. I'm so sorry for his loss. My deepest sympathy to his family and his siblings. May God grant eternal rest to him and may His light shine in his children's eyes.

We will sure miss you Chuck; your natural warmth, sense of humor and ready smile. I always knew I'd get a big hug when you were around. Sometimes it's hard to figure out why things happen, but we have to have faith this is all part of God's plan. I love you and will miss you.
