To the Family of Chuck, your husband, father, and grandfather was a wonderful gentleman. We loved him dearly, he was a very kind man. He bought many RV's from our family business. But he was more than a customer, he was a dear friend. Every couple of months we could always expect a visit from him, just to say hello, share his RV trips, and just to see how we were doing. We always considered him part of our family. He will be terribly missed by us. Love, David and Susan McKinnish
