Dear Lucy & Family,
My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family at this difficult time. I had the priviledge of working with Chuck many years with United Way. He was a wonderful boss and always shared his knowledge of fundraising with me. A truly wonderful and giving man with a great sense of humor. God Bless Lucy and her family.

To Lucy Gagen and the Gagen family- We are so sorry to hear of your loss and want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. I had the pleasure of meeting your husband and you at our wedding in New Jersey about 23 years ago when Linda Detwiler and I married. Chuck and my father also just met that day for the first time and as two Irishmen would, hit if off quite well at our reception.Both Linda and I still look at the video from that day and some of the best words spoken came from Chuck. Once again, we are sorry for your loss
