It is hard to believe that Chas has been gone for 13 years. I still see things that he would like and think yo myself That I should tell Chas about that.

He was a great friend.

Kellee and Chuck,

We have lost a great man and a good friend. With every roll of the dice, every deal of the cards, and every chalking of the cue, Chas will be remembered, and he will be missed.

When Chas spoke of Kellee, his voice went soft and his face lit up. It is such a wonderful comfort that she was in his life.

We had been friends since high school. He will be missed by us all.

Ron and Chas grew up together and Chas was the best man at our wedding. He had such fun duct-taping his flower to his tux. Ron's parents, Garland and Sally and his sister, Sabrina send their condolences. Kellee, we're grieving with you and Chas' family and other friends. God's peace. Ron and Shelly Epps

My family lived (and still lives) down the street from Chaz, and I used to babysit Chaz for Roxie and Chuck - We all still miss Roxie and to lose Chaz too - it's almost more than one can bear. My heart goes out to the family.

I have nothing but fond memories of Chas from our time together in the CHS Band. He always had a smile and a joke for his peers, and his attitude was admirable. I still think fondly of his mother, too, and to think that now the two of them are gone is hard to comprehend.

With deepest sympathy,
Jennifer Jablonski

I was shocked when Chris called me in New York this past weekend to tell me about Chas. It is so hard to think someone so young had to have such a tragic ending to their life. I remember fondly Chas and Chris together in school, Boy Scouts, and at birthday parties. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

I worked with Chaz at Boston Beanery. He was always on time and never missed his shifts. One thing all of us (from Boston Beanery) will remember was his funny variations on the food he'd order. He liked to add chicken strips to his sandwiches. One time,he and I went back and forth on which desserts we liked the best and why others were just not good. He liked the White Chocolate Raspberry cake.
