Chuck was a good man and will be deeply missed. He taught me to square dance, as he did so many in the Valley, and for that I will be ever grateful. Thanks, Chuck, for the memories and friendship. And thanks so much for "Amarillo by Morning."

My deepest sympathy to Eda Mae and all of Chuck's family and friends! Yes, he was a great square dance caller and teacher and definitely added joy to my life learning and dancing to his calling. So sad that he has left us here but we will all meet again in Heaven. He is in a better place and I hope that is comforting to his family. RIP, Chuck, you will be missed but not forgotten! Love, Pat

I always enjoyed dancing to Chuck and working with him. He showed respect for his dancers as well as his fellow callers and cuers. Always the Gentleman with a touch of humor and a great big heart for everyone around him. Thanks for the memories.
Eda Mea, my prayers are with you. Chuck was a great one.
