Dear Margaret, Janelle, Jennifer & Julie. I am shocked and so saddened to hear of the loss of this wonderful man. In the forty plus years I've known and worked with Chuck I've always considered him to be one of my dearest friends. He was loved and admired by all who knew him. And his kindness, generosity, fairness, thoughtfulness and quick wit will always be remembered by everyone whose lives he touched. A few years have passed since I've seen either of you, Margaret, but I've thought of you both often and fondly remember fun times and golf games we all played together. I mourn with you, and send along my deepest sympathy to you, the girls and their families. You all will remain in my thoughts and prayers. And Chuck, may you rest in peace in "that great oil field in the sky".

My heartfelt sympathy to Chuck's family. Please let me know when the services will be held in June. I know there are many of Chuck's friends from our Kinder Morgan days that would like to attend.

While I had not known Chuck many years, I was shocked and sadden to see that Chuck is not with us anymore. I met Chuck at our monthly meetings where I would enjoy talking, laughing, with Chuck while enjoying beverages and trying to beat Chuck in a game of cards, which was impossible. You were missed when you moved to Arizona and now even more so. My thoughts are with Chucks family and please know that Chuck will be missed by many.

My Dear buddy Chuck, I see you've moved on to the Happy Hunting grounds my friend. I was saddened to hear of you leaving us though. I will always remember what a kind and thoughtful friend you were to me at Kinder Morgan. I remember you never missed giving me a bday card, and I enjoyed all of your funny animal emails you would send me and I would share with my wife. I recall all the good conversations we would have about politics, the Korean war and the list goes on. My wife was so excited when you set her up in Vegas to see Tom Jones and your son-in-law. I appreciated your thoughtfulness very much. You were an inspiration to me and a humanitarian that I admired. You will be missed. You will stay in my heart and thoughts and when I think of you I will smile and chuckle because that's what you did for me my friend.

Chuck's family, can you please let me know if Chuck is having a service here in Denver. Me and my wife would like to pay our respects. I can be reached at [email protected]. Thank you and please accept our deepest condolences. Chuck was a good man.
