Dear Hancock family, I was so saddened to hear of Chuck's passing. I worked with him at West Coast Produce for longer than I can remember. He always had a smile and a joke for me when he would arrive in the evening to run our night shift . He was an excellent employee that I relyed on and trusted. Above all, he was a "Great Friend" ! My condolences to you all. He will be missed. Sincerely, Bill Dowling

A favorite holiday spent with Grandpa...

I love you... Corie
