Chuck! You were such a pain in my butt. Or was I a pain in yours? I cant believe you're gone. But only the good die young, and you, sir, were good. I still have some of your pickled asparagus in my fridge, so hot you'll feel it on the way out. Lol. You made me laugh too many times to count these last 4 years. I hope there's a party with you in the center of it, wherever you are. Rest in peace old man! You are missed.

I worked with Chuck at Perkins for many years. The last time I saw him he was with Jim and Rocky at the Amvets. I even bought him a drink which is something unusual for me. I remember his wave and smile good bye. I will remember him that way. He was a genuine good guy. I am surprised and saddened at his passing.

I wish to offer my condolences to his family and friends. I know they will miss him the most.

Sincerely,
Barbara Majoy
