I worked with Chuck back in the US West days in Bellevue. Such an exceptional man. He was also a friend and I was lucky to have had the chance to know him. Prayers to Chuck and family.

Chuck was such a great guy, we worked together for a number of years at the Bellevue City Center Building, for USWEST. He was kind, thoughtful and he had a great sense of humor. A group of us would go downstairs every morning for coffee. It makes me smile to think of him and our time together. My favor story was as a boy he had to ride a horse from the southend to his house. He parents made sure he had people along the way to feed him and give him water. He chuckled as he told the story. Love you Chuck.

Chuck was such a gentle soul. Like other co-workers I appreciated his kind approach and cooperation with all tasks assigned to him. He truly was an admired employee and friend to all. Chuck deserves his eternal peace.

I had the pleasure of working with Chuck on two different work assignments. Chuck was one of the most conscientious employees and one of the kindest men I've ever known. I'm sorry to hear of his passing but so grateful my life journey included knowing such a quality individual. God bless you Chuck.

'Chuck' and I were co-workers and friends. He was loyal to his employer and supportive of those with whom he worked. We remained friends over the 33 years since I retired. He came to Texas to help celebrate our 50th anniversary. A good and true friend. Rest in peace. See you on the other side.
