I am so sorry about one of my best friends I have ever had. He was like a father to me if you didn't did know. I was like a family member in your house. (cousin) We had super great times looking into the past about grampa lundberg, uncle bob, auntie alberta. I am so sad that I was not at the funeral but I will remember Chuck when I last saw him but he was a great man, loved his family and everyone else who came into his life I will miss him so dearly. God Bless the family and I will...

I remember Mr. Campbell fondly - he was a wonderful coach, and a wonderful human being. Always fun, competitive, and supportive. My sincerest sympathies to you Rick, your Mom, and to your family. God Bless

So sad to hear the news about Chuck, but what wonderful memories I had of him as a basketball coach at St Paul’s when we were so young. He was such a wonderful guy, a real pillar of that parish with men like my dad, Bob Joliet, Mr. Imesch, Jack English, Tom Gentile, and so many others. I loved seeing his photo too....he looks even better and younger and happier today than he did way back then. Godspeed.

I think back to the days we played baseball together at St Paul’s varsity team and then to the days we would all get together on New Year’s Day to enjoy the football bowl games. We enjoyed many times together at the lake pulling the kids behind the boat learning how to water ski. You were always a great friend and I will truly miss you. Love from all the Moir family.
