Not sure what to say?

Just heard about Chuck - will play some five card stud in his honor tonight. He was a wonderful man.

Neil & Family,
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I am sure you have many fond memories of your father and these memories will help you through this difficult period.

Mrs Fortunato, Bonnie,Neil and the entire family, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Bonnie, I love you very much, be strong my friend! Chuck lived life to the the fullest and most importantly he loved is family. Just the thought of his undying love for his wife is mesmerizing. The amazing stories are unforgettable. May his love and legacy carry you these times. God Bless.

Muriel, Bonnie & Neil - Please accept our sympathies - we know what you are going through. Cathy & Rob Kabins

I was just in my 20's when introduced to Chuck and we remained friends for over 30 years. No matter where we were or what was going on in our lives, not more than a few weeks would ever go by without one of us checking in with the other. Chuck was a great communicator and he had a gift that allowed him to analyze people and circumstances almost instantly and express things in such a logical and insightful way that he was always quite persuasive and convincing. I learned so much from him...

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Bonnie, Neil and Muriel,
Its been many years since I had the pleasure of seeing Chuck but I always had great respect for him. He was a gracious and warm gentleman and I am glad I knew him.
May his memory serve as a blessing,
Michael Salberg

I only knew Charles through his son and daughter in law and a few introductions over the past several years. Sometimes you can learn a lot about a man by the statements made of him by others. Also by the soulful significance you witness in those people following the passing of that man. It can certainly be said that Charles' life continues in the good name of his son and in the strength of his wife and two small children. - Elizabeth Walvoord
