Dearest Betty, Claire & family,

I was very sad when Ray told me the bad news. Sad for Betty - she will miss him, her soul partner. Sad for Claire (Janet & Nancy) - he was a great father. And Michael & Charlie (& their cousins) - he was super granddad. He will be missed so much. Our hearts feel for you. We will keep him in our prayers

God's will that he did not suffer too much.

I remember our meeting in the Galapagos well. Chuck was such a gentleman .....

Dear Betty, Claire and all the Thompson family. Carole and I met Chuck (and Betty ) many years ago (1980s) when we did a cruise of the fabulous Galopalos Islands, Equador.

We must have hit it off,as they popped in to to say hello in Auckland ( New Zealand ) some years later ,and we (along with our kids ) stayed with them in California after a Suzuki Camp. They treated us like family ,and we got to know them real well. I've met many people...
