CHUCK AND I FIRST MET AT CHARLOTTE COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL IN THE 2ND GRADE. WE WERE THE TRUE REBELS ON CAMPUS; DRAWING PICTURES AND PLAYING THE DEVIL. OUR FRIENDSHIP CONTINUED INTO ADULTHOOD, UNTIL THE END OF HIS LIFE. CHUCK WAS A BEAUTIFUL MAN, VERY CREATIVE AND FULL OF LIFE. HE WILL BE MISSED, AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE HIM LIKE A BROTHER. BLESSINGS GEORGE BLANCHARD

Sandy, I just learned this morning of Chuck´s passing. I am so sorry for your loss. I know he will be greatly missed by many. I send love and prayers at this difficult time.

I just learned of Chucks passing like David T mentioned the cyclone and the allman brothers always went down well. Live at filmore east and eat a peach as i recall. Chuck and i and David Townsend used to have good fun on the dirt bikes all over southeast clt Wide open doing power-slides. Just did not get any better. Will miss his spirit and good fellow approach to life and friends we have been in raleigh for many years but have always remembered our fun and friendship John miller

May God give you strength and comfort during this difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss. Sending condolences and prayers to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed and remembered for having touched the lives of so many.

I am saddened to learn of Chuck´s death. What a great guy! I will never forget hearing the Allman Brothers for the very first time in his white Mercury Cyclone on an eight-track tape player in the `70´s. He loved music and as I remember could play the heck out of a harmonica! I lost track of Chuck, as I have so many friends, and my heart goes out to his family.

Chuck and I met in the 2nd grade at Country Day School where we became the true rebels, from drawing pictures of the teachers to playing the Devil. We became friends for life He was a positive beautiful man with many talents. I will miss you dear friend, Love, George Blanchard

I met Chuck back in the 80's when he was working his carpentry talent,and he was a very good one. I will remember him for infectious smile and love of photography and motorcycles. I was lucky to know him and work along side him.
