Chuck (AKA Chuckles/Dad/Grandpa) was a wonderful loving caring man. He loved my mother and this family for 21 years. He was one of us. He walked me down the isle and gave me, with my Mother, away to my husband. Mom has missed you tramendously and will always love you. Chuckles (Dad) I have missed you so much and I will always love you.
