I have some amazing memories of both Chuck and Kathy. Looked and found this obituary and am sad I missed the opportunity to be there. Wanted you both to know I enjoyed my time around you both and pray you both are enjoying the next part of your journey where ever that might be.

I'm so sorry that I didn't know until recently about Chuck's passing. I sure would have been at the memorial service. He was a great man and a friend. He will be missed.

Kathy, we are so sorry for your loss. Chuck was a wonderful man. Bill and I met him in Dallas at the "Gathering of Eagles" in 1996 or 97, and enjoyed all the times we spent together. Chuck asked me a couple of years ago if I had a picture of him and Searcy which I did and brought it to him. We will really miss him and I will do a presentation board on him at the next "Eagles" Willie and Bill K
