Not sure what to say?

I just saw that Chuck recently passed away. My condolences to the family on the loss of such a wonderful gentleman. He was my attorney for many years and was always trying to connect with me with another one of his clients-that way he could help everyone. He was always kind and generous time and advice. A great man and friend.

It is with profound sorrow I have learned only just now of Chuck's passing. He was such a beautiful soul and incredible supporter of one's dreams. I shall miss him deeply, more than i can put in words. My utmost heartfelt thoughts to his family.

Thank you so much for sharing your creative, community and legal talents with so many of us: your memory will always be a blessing, and the seeds you planted have taken serious root.

Chuck was the kindest man and most generous attorney I have ever known. He saved me more than once.

Chuck was the most kind, generous, wonderful man. He always made and shared his time. He was the person I could always trust to offer loving, sage advice and support. His dedication to his wife and family was an inspiration. I loved him dearly and am grateful to have known him. He will live forever in my and my family's hearts. May his memory be a blessing.

It´s with a heavy heart that I share my thoughts...Chuck was an amazing person, a guiding force in my career development and growth. He was ever present in my life and that of my children, who referred to him as Uncle Chuck. Chuck and Renee supported my LA concert performances, the most recent being January 20, 2023 along with their son Matthew. My heart mourns, my spirit is broken, but I am grateful to have known and worked with, and be represented by such an incredible human being. To...

....wow my heart hurts he was a special person, so blessed to have had him in my life for the time I did. I was one of his Personal Trainer´s during the time I was living in Los Angeles-he was truly a big brother, father figure while I had no other family locally and in the midst of the crazy sometimes harsh cruel world of LA he was a friend, a client, a mentor and probably one of the most wonderful human beings on this planet ! He was one of the few people that understood the bond I had for...

When I became assistant counsel of a TV company in 1976 -- my first entertainment law job -- Chuck was ne of the first talent lawyers I dealt with. I am glad for that, because he was a mensch and a gentleman who guided me fairly and kindly through one of my first TV negotiations. As our paths/deals crossed over the years, he remained that mensch and gentlemen.

Chuck and his family are cousins and he was close to my mom Bunny growing up in Boston. I got to know Chuck after I moved to LA and he became interested in my young family and the school where I worked. He unselfishly was a regular special guest in the Entrepreneurs and Leadership class I facilitate. We became involved in a documentary project and Chuck became our lawyer and chief advisor and immediately steered the ship through waters we had no experience navigating. We wouldn't have made...
