Charles W. "Chuck" Getchell

On behalf of the Salzburg Global Seminar I want to express or sorrow on learning of Chuck's death. I also want to express our appreciation for his support of the Seminar over many years as a Board member and a marshaler of funds. He contributed as recently s last year. We will miss him but hope we can stay in touch. Sincerely, Herbert Gleason

I am so very sorry for your loss, Katie, Emily and Sarah. Your dad was a wonderful man and will be sadly missed. Loving memories always, Kim Elliott

Dear Papa,

You were a Shiny Penny. You taught me - always by example and never by moralizing - about kindness, empathy, generosity, forgiveness, compassion, curiosity, good will and delight. You embodied these and you touched everyone who knew you. Thank you for being such a guide to us all and for helping us on the way.

I read this recently and it made me think of you:

"If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person.
If there is...

In the area of light verse Chuck had no equal, not even Ogden Nash, in my opinion.

From everyone at the Quebec-Labrador Foundation, I extend our deepest sympathy to Chuck's family. He was our "favorite tenant" and our good friend. We shared a common world view. We will miss him.

Chuck wrote some wonderful plays and songs for the Tavern Club; he was a valued member who will be missed.

He found me a job, he was always a gracious host, he took me to lunch many times, he listened, he enriched my life. He told me it's the details, the little things in life that matter.
