Chuck was part of our family for many years leaving us with many happy times and good memories. Being with his family at his resting place, I know he would be looking down saying, "that's my family." Farwell my son in law. Rita.

Charles, you were a great man and I am so glad I got to know you over these past few years. You have taught me that it is never too late to follow your dreams. You truly are an inspiration. Thanks for the memories and may you rest in peace.

We were fortunate to have been introduced to Chuck through his wife, our friend, Tricia. Although we didn't spend a lot of time around Chuck we can say that whenever we were at their home Chuck always made us feel so very welcomed. You always felt good to be in Chuck's company and were motivated by his passion for his hobbies. It is sad that such a vibrant person is gone at such a young age but obviously Chuck's work here with us was done... we're glad we had a chance to have met him. Our thoughts remain with you Tricia, Darcy and Casey.

Over the past twenty-something years, we shared so much....getting married, buying our first homes, having kids, etc. Thank-you for the many times you opened your home to us .....we sure did have some fun times! You will be missed.

Chuck, you always welcomed all of the Darcy Clan into your home and life with such warmth and open arms. The sunset cruise was one of my foundest memories with the family, on the boat you loved. The Cape and Beddeck will always hold a special spark in my heart because of your love for the land. You were so blessed with such wonderful boys. The Rancourt Clan will miss you but know your spirit is watching over us all. Cheers Chuck.
