Dad was, and ALWAYS will be my hero. He was the bravest man I have ever known. I simply cannot imagine a world without Chuck North. My siblings and I would listen for hours to his stories of growing up, and about fighting in Korea. He could tell a great story. I will miss that. Dad, I will love you forever

Chuck was a great person to talk to and he taught me a lot about training and weight lifting in general. Always made time and was fun to share a laugh with. RIP my friend.

Im so sorry to hear the passing of a Northeastern Ohio legend in the bodybuilding promotional world, Chuck.
His obituary attached is quite impressive. What I remember him for most was the awesome NPC events he promoted in the 1980s and early 1990s including my 1991 NPC MR. OHIO win! His venues were always packed that were as loud as fans at a rock concert. Trophies were always tall and impressive), and above all, his events were fun. I met some of my best friends through competing at his contests as I made memories that make for a life well lived from his efforts.
RIP Chuck and THANK YOU for the wonderful memories my friend. My most sincere condolences to all his family and friend. ❤

My Dad will always be the greatest man I ever knew, my hero, a man of honor whose word and a hand shake was stronger than any document produced. I loved our talks about football, the Korean War, and life in general. You will forever be in my heart and soul. Love you to the moon and back....
