I met Chuck 5 years ago through Lee Burton working at Zillges. I enjoyed endless stories sitting next to those two at the Fountain across the street. I then starting trapping on his property, and started doing small landscape projects for Chuck on my spare time. Chuck was so kind, laid back, always smiling. I truly admired him. Very few people have made that impression in such a short time. I really miss Chuck and I will always cherish the short time I shared with him. To all family and friends I'm sorry for your loss. He was one of a kind.
