Read MoreThis is many years too late... Chuck hired me as a new " leader" back in April 1989 I was there 11 years. Chuck was the most influential mentor of my career. I´ve been retired over a year and looking back on my career it becomes obvious Chick helped me start it. Thank you Chuck Norman Shore

Chuck hired me right after Respiratory School and helped me develop my skills as an RT. He always had confidence in my abilities and I appreciate the trust and encouragement he gave to us. He always maintained a gracious sense humor and laughed with us whenever we poked fun at each other (especially about his hair). Chuck will be missed by all who knew him.

I was an RT student at St. Luke's when Chuck hired me. I really mised him and the whole gang when I left for nursing and NP school.
Chuck was very supportive and a kind and gentle man. We shared a love of 1950's era monster movies. He was the only person I knew who could remember all those movies and laugh about them with me.
RIP, Chuck. I hope you can watch "Wasp Woman" in the great beyond!

Chuck hired me as an RT at St. Luke's back in 1981 and supported me in my career advancement. I appreciated his faith in my knowledge and skills. And he trusted all of us in the respiratory therapy, rehabilitation and cardioneuro departments to work independently and as a team for the benefit of patients and their families.

We will miss Chuck for sure. He was my bud during our managing days at St. Luke's. He and I would discuss all our problems together in my office in the lab or in his office wherever that was at the moment! He was such a good friend and colleague. He certainly had a way with his teams of therapists. He had a good group! So long, old buddy!

Chuck will be missed by many of his colleagues at St. Luke's Hospital. He was a dedicated and loyal Manager of the Respiratory Care Department and we missed him so much when he left St. Luke's a few years ago. Now we have lost him forever. He will never be forgotten. He was a mentor to me and many others and it was a privilege to have worked with him for many, many years. I am happy he got to witness his San Francisco Giants become World Series Champs! He will be watching Spring Training...
