To Aunt Ginny and all my cousins, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Uncle Chuck truly was a wonderful person who I loved dearly. He reminded me so much of my dad (his brother Gary). He will be forever missed and loved. I love you all!

I only met Chuck very briefly at a cache event. I wish I had time to do some caching with him and take him into the Sups. But he will always be with us. Cache on my friend
