Bob and I were so shocked to hear about Chuck's passing. We remember him so fondly as the gentle giant he was. Always displaying such quiet, yet powerful dignity. He and Joanne and the girls were long time members of Larkey Private Swim Club where we met them many years ago.
They were a devoted couple and always so involved within our community. Chuck & Joanne were like peanut butter & jelly, you couldn't imagine one without the other!
We keep the entire family in our prayers & send loving thoughts and healing energy during this difficult time.
With love,
The Summers Family
