Uncle Chuck was our favorite uncle. We loved him very much and still miss him. A special memory was that he was Judy”s occasional baby sitter when she was a toddler.

Both Chuck & Nora were great friends & neighbors in Bellwood. They were so good to me, and my children when they were growing up,I'm sure there is a special place for both of them in Heaven.

My family lived next door in 1960's Bellwood. I remember that I got my first two-wheel bicycle from Mr. Glickley. The people across the alley had put a 20" bike out for the trash. Knowing that I did not have one, he fixed that little bike up and gave it to me. I am sure everyone who knew him has their own story of his kindness. My love and condolences to the family.
