Chuc was a very special man. I was honored to know him and Betty and to call them my friends. I loved talking about boating with Chuc - his eyes always lit up. He was a real Card Shark and I lost many games of Gin to him. He will be missed. He brought many good things into this world, including a loving family. Rest in Peace, dear Chuc.
