Not sure what to say?

Having worked for V.F.Grace from 1975 to the mid 1990's I have fond memories from working for the company and the people that I worked with and Chuck Rush stands out in my mind. I send my sincerest sympathy to the Rush family and V.F.Grace personnel.
Fondly,
Harriet Kamahele

Charles' wonderful energy and enthusiasm lives on in Cathy, John and Clark. You can't meet any of them without seeing something of their dad. What an adventurous, pioneering life to remember. Condolences to all of his loving family.

I worked at V.F. Grace in the 80's when Mr Grace passed away and it was a fun place to work. I still think about it with fond memories. I always enjoyed talking to Mr & Mrs Rush. I am sorry for your loss.

Always enjoyed working with the VF Grace "family" but my highlight was always spending time with Chuck. Reminiscing and having a number of good laughs.
Most definitely will be missed by many.
Condolences to the Rush family and VF Grace personnel.

Rocky Lake has lost a great friend and neighbor. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Rush family and all who knew Charles.

So Sorry about Charles. Peggy called me right away and Tillie is here with me now on her way to be with you. I will always remember Charles and the FUN we had at the Clark reunions! You are all in my thoughts and prayers!

John and Clark, I will always remember the great duck and goose hunts at Theodore with you and your dad. He was always upbeat and happy to be hunting with his boys. My thoughts are with you and your family. I look forward to hopefully running into you as we make our trips back to Alaska each summer. If you see me running, biking, or fishing, flag me down and say hi.

Dear Mrs. Rush, Cathy, John, and Clark,

I was so sorry to hear of your husband's/father's passing. I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with all of you at your home (particularly in the summer), going to sporting events, etc. And Mr. Rush was always so patient and kind to put up with me "chattering" and "bouncing around." I know you all will miss him terribly. I regret being unable to attend the service, but am praying for God's peace and comfort to you all at this...

I did not know this outstanding man, but it seems to me from reading about his life he was a man of honor and one of the Lords committed followers and teachers. I say Thank You Lord for letting this wonderful man walk this journey with us . Also Sir, Thank You for your Service to this nation and Thank again Sir for sharing your knowledge and your loving heart. "Just another Vet" Bob
