Chuck was a good guy. We had several extended conversations earlier this summer. He was always straightforward & honest. We could always tell each other what we thought without pretense. I also knew & thought the world of both his parents. They were always good to me, generous & kind. I spent many a moment with them in their trailer at Bavon. Very sorry to hear of this..I know he will be missed...
