Mary, Sorry to hear of Tuna´s passing. Many fond memories throughout my police career working with him, seeing him around city yards, or just bumping into the two of you while out and about in the city. Always enjoyed the car shows and escorting the parades on the police bikes. Still have my diecast cruisers he did for me over the years. May he rest in peace.

The loss of Chuckie" Tuna" is also the end of an era. Such great memories of "the corner" , driving in the infamous blue Mach1 on Carew st, Forest Park for detailing and A&W for burgers! Tuna gave me many morning rides to high school in his "big yellow city truck". There was also the unfortunate incident of " brakes not working " after leaving my HS grad party at my parents house. The Mach 1 was injured. My condolences to Mary and family ... Tuna will definitely be missed. Anne (Sears)...

Mary, as you know, I'm so sorry for your loss. Tuna was fantastic, he will be (and already is) missed by so many who have had the honor of knowing him. We are all better people for having known him, I'm honored to have been able to call him my friend. My prayers for you and your family.
