"Uncle Chuck" My husband and I will miss him so much! Uncle Chuck had that wonderful charisma and presence about him that you just wanted to give him a big hug every time you saw him! What brings comfort is he is now with his beautiful bride again and forever after. My deepest and sincere condoloscences to their children, grandchildren, his siblings, and for all those blessed people who had a chance to get to know Chuck.
