Chuck believed spirituality was personal and private and a daily practice of the Golden Rule. He didn't gossip or give unsolicited advice and he kept confidences private. He made observations and asked thought provoking questions and he listened carefully. We laughed and cried together during our 48 year friendship. He brought me much joy and I am so grateful for his friendship and kindness. I will miss him so much.
