Not sure what to say?

As I plan for the St. Peter's Class of '74 Fiftieth reunion this year, I am greatly saddened to learn of Chuck's passing. I remember him as smart, funny, respectful, strong, a football player, and a safety patrol captain. ; ) He was kind to all. He was one of the truly good guys - I could already tell at that young age. Belated condolences to the extended Thiry family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I just found out. I also worked with Charly at the Osco Drug warehouse. Had many great conversations with him. He was good guy. My condolences to his family and friends.

So sorry to hear of this so late. Knew of Charles via Osco warehouse. Always funny and in good spirits. Messed with each other always. God bless you Mr. Charlie.

Chuck #27!

Can you imagine being in the third grade and looking up to someone as a gentle giant? That was how I saw Chuck. Kind-hearted, lovable, and up for anything including letting me rope him into playing Yukon Cornelius in a "production" of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer I convinced our teacher to let us put on. He was perfect. He was also my teammate on the 6th Grade football team. Good ol' #27. We haven't spoken since graduating St. Pete's. I hope his family and friends can take comfort in their...

I remember the good times playing with Chuckie when we were kids on Kenton Ave. My prayers for the Thiry Family.

You will be truly missed Chuck! Always looked forward to seeing you at family parties. Loved your silliness, laugh and goofiness. You were a wonderful, thoughtful and fun cousin!

Best wishes to all of you

Annette and I will miss Chuck. He was always a joy to be around. I will miss our Niles East and Coach Odlivak stories. Rest In Peace !
