Codi and Bo, Our deepest condolences. Your Dad was one of the finest examples of what life should be. I met him in '82 in Del Rio and have treasured his friendship since then. He spoke of both of you often and fondly and those were the times I shared with your dad that I treasure the most. May the grace of god be with you through this difficult time.

We flew together. We did ski weeks, Mardi Gras, and the BVI. I always just enjoyed being around Chuck. This is a tremendous loss for the world. It was a better place with Chuck in it. He will be sorely missed by everyone that came into contact with him.

October 30, 2014

I never had the pleasure of knowing Chuck, but truly felt the love that everyone had for him, and his love of Linda. He touched the lives of so many, will be missed. To those of you that knew him, know that your lives are richer for having known him., and what a gift you have been given to have had him in your life. My thoughts and prayers are with Linda and Chuck's family.

Chuck's ever-present smile and laughing spirit are really going to be missed. He had such a positive impact on so many people and was a great friend. He helped me get my dream job with Delta, and was a great mentor and leader on the ski hill. Chuck was one of the best of us, and I'm going to miss him.

Chuck was a great man, father, friend, pilot and partner. His warming smile and great demeanor will be sorely missed!

My wife Kim knew Chuck from way back during the heyday of the Delta Ski Club, and I know she respected and loved him like everyone who knew him did. We will miss his huge heart, generosity, easy-going personality and irrepressible sense of humor. As one of his close friends asked recently 'have you ever seen this man without a smile?' He always had a smile and a kind word for his friends, and a helping hand for those in need. His sudden passing leaves a huge hole in so many lives, we will always feel the loss, and won't forget. Godspeed.

The best pilot ever, always made people smile and laugh. Linda I will always hold on to our memories, oh the fun and laughs we have had, especially a night not to long ago, Holding you close to my heart always.

I forgot to sign my post below which was from Kathy Torrence when Linda, Chuck and I had a blast in Reno on a layover.

October 29, 2014

Geeez I'm still in shock! What a great time we had in Reno on our layover. Chuck loved you Linda so much! You honestly got to be with the love of your life and had the time of your life with him! We'll all be joining you some day Chuck! Hold down the fort until than. You were an awesome person and a wonderful Captain.

Chuck was a true, great friend that helped guide me through Pilot Training and, eventually, flew my Cross Country in T-38s. He was a great balance of fun and intensity. We've kept in touch ever since and, everytime I ran into Chuck, it was a good experience. Kathy and I will miss him greatly.

We are truly sorry for Chuck's passing. It was a great shock. We didn't get to see him often because we live so far apart. a Cousin Max & Shirley Ballard

Chuck was such a class act. I was on call once in Salt Lake and he was going to be on a trip. He offered me the use of his car and house as long as I "replaced any beer I drank!" In addition to being a great pilot, he was a great guy, and will be keenly missed.

I am so very saddened to know that Chuck is gone. Chuck truly loved life and lived it to its fullest...and was loved by so many. Sending my deepest condolences to Linda and Chuck's family. The last time I saw him he was so happy and in love and excited to be married. May all who knew him find comfort in each other during this time of grieving and celebrate his life in the years to come. With sympathy,

So so sorry to hear about Chuck. We flew T-38s together in TX and we recently got caught up at the Delta simulator this summer. He hadn't changed a bit and we enjoyed reminiscing.

My deepest sympathies to you Linda, and all of Chuck's family. I am so saddenened by Chuck's passing, he was the finest of fellow pilots. I will never walk through the Salt Lake Airport without thinking of him, and will probably still be looking for his face whenever I walk the concourse.
