I am saddened by this news. I haven´t seen Chuck for quite some time so this came as a bit of a surprise. I will remember Chuck first for being a good and loyal martial arts student and being one of only two students that I ever promoted to black belt rank. R.I.P.
Chuck!

I am very saddened to hear of Chuck´s passing. My husband John and him use to carpool to work when my husband was alive. Chuck got me everything my husband had left in his locker and kept me informed of how much my husband was missed. I know now they´ll all be missing Chuck. My condolences to his family.
