My condolences to the Balck family on the passing of Chubby; I've known Chubby for over 50 years and what a great man always a smile on his face and words of wisdom for you to ponder on. He loved to garden and when things were in season he would share the wealth with his co-workers, apples, plums, and radishes are some of the things I can remember. Chubby always had a banana, apple, orange or buttermilk in his lunch. Sometimes Chubby would play his harmonica at work for the guys and some times with a couple others. Chubby was well liked by the many co-workers though out the years and will be missed by them as well. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. RIP my dear old friend.....
