Chuck was a very dear person, very caring and considerate. He brought a smile to all who had the fortune of working with him. Knowing I will not ever see him again breaks my heart. Rest in peace Chuck, you were much loved.

This makes me so sad. I played handbells with Chuck for many years. He had a great wit and was a joy to be around. He will be missed.
