Dear Marsh Family, I wanted to give my condolences to you and your family, I knew Chuck from the Flying Hills Fitness Center when I worked there a couple years ago. Chuck was always a pleasant person to be around and always asked how I was doing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. Sincerely Dawn Wenzel
