To The Family of Chuck Zech,
I had the pleasure to serve on Chuck's staff in West Michigan. From the moment I met Chuck, I knew that he was a person of high integrity and that he possessed a deep caring for people. He treated all with dignity and respect. I learned a lot from him. He will be missed but not forgotten.

Chuck was like a magnet. He genuinely cared about you as a person regardless who you were or what position you held. A gentle man with a "heart of gold". Indeed he will be sadly missed.

Dear Caroline and family,
I know Chuck from his work on our
board at Arbor Circle. He was always a strong advocate for the needy. He always had a kind word and encouragement for everyone. I felt blessed to be guided by such a great man of courage and caring. My deepest sympathy to you and the family during this time.
