Dear Ruth and Family,
I'm very saddened to hear about Chuck. My condolences to all of you.
Chuck was one of my early mentors and also became a good friend. When I think of some of the stuff that went on in the office, golf course, old world inn, his retirement party... I laugh inside.
I hope you are all doing OK at this time.
Love, Mick and Cristin

He was a good friend. I met him when I was in my late 60s. He beat me a golf several times even though he was legally blind. He also served on my charter school board in Salisbury. Tom Lubben
