Aunt Becky, Danielle & Matt,
I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I hope you can find comfort in the love and memories, I know Uncle Chuck was a very special man, and one of my fondest memories I will always cherish is when he taught me how to count in Japenese (1-10) over breakfast one morning when I stayed all night at your home when Dani and I were younger, as well as many others. I will miss him greatly!!
