To the Swartz family, although the years have passed since our families have last seen each other, our memories of Chuck, Peggy and the kids at Trinity and St Chris are vivid. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of mourning.

My Dad and I both work with Chuck - He is one of a kind - Everybody like and respected him - He would take the negative times and make them positive - I was a better person to know him - Thank you Chuck

We would like to send our deepest condolences to the Swartz family. Chuckie was such an amazing individual and all were blessed who had the opportunity to know him. I will always remember the years we all spent together sharing laughs and making memories in college and the years that followed. He will truly be missed by all. He had a gift of touching people's lives just by being in the same room with them. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Swartz Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your great loss. You all are in my prayers. I remember seeing Mr. Swatrz at each and every Watterson Football game on the sidelines...even back in gradeschool when Rocky & Jack would be running around along side. He was a wonderful man who did so much for his children and will be greatly missed.
