Not sure what to say?

Chuck was my physician when I lived in Columbus for a few years in the late seventies. His care was focussed and oriented in ways that were to my ultimate benefit. I grew up with his first wife, Sherry. I know that Chuck loved her during their years together, and was so proud that she took such excellent care of herself.

My condolences to the family.
I went on a "Chuck Derrow Memorial" ride today. I thought about a Midwest Double Century ridden when we were both a lot younger. I thought about the many rides through the Hocking Hills and all the climbs up Snorting Ridge with Chuck lecturing me about Jewish history all the while. I don't remember much about the history, but I remember Chuck.

My deepest sympathy to Dr. Derrow's family. I was a classmate at Eastmoor High School.

I remember Chuck from EHS days. Smart and a "good guy.". It's hard to realize how many of our class of '67 are gone. My sympathy to his family.
