Chuck and Lisa, we just heard about the passing of Uncle Chuck. Our hearts go out to you both. Uncle Chuck and Aunt Helen were two of the nicest people we ever knew. There are so many fond memories that we smile now just thinking of some of them. From the time that Aunt Helen showed up at our apartment door with bags of groceries to help us out in our new life together, to the days spent on the golf course with Uncle Chuck, watching him at 20 feet off the green and giving an 8 iron a full swing and just getting on the green. Chuck, do you remember the look you and I had when he was about to hit the ball? I miss those times. Great times with great people. They were great parents, raising two wonderful and special children. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you both.
