I am so sorry for your loss. I work for ABB (Baldor) and Chuck was instrumental in supporting us to improve our machining operations with the Taegutec inserts. He was a wonderful and ethical supplier. I will fondly remember spending time with him at IMTS.

Thank you all, for kind condolences and wonderful memories of my husband.
With broken but grateful hearts from Sue Ann Elder, our Max and Brynn, and all the Elder family

Miss you!!

So sorry for your loss, I remember Chuck fondly as his swimming coach at Andover but more importantly watching him as father as his children competed at Pine Lake. So impressed with his life accomplishments and sorry his life was taken too soon. He will be remembered and respected for many years.

Dear Sue Ann, My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. I will pray for you.

May God bless Chuck and his family. I truly enjoyed the time I spent with him over the years at various work related events. He will be missed by all those that had the pleasure to know him.

I would like to extend my sincere and deepest condolences to the Elder family.
Chuck was my manager, but mot importantly, he was a dear friend and mentor. I consider myself very lucky to have worked with Chuck for 3 companies during my career path....I will truly miss chuck...rest in peace.

To my friend Don and his family, I am very sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Your friend Jordan Salasnek.
