Dear Chubby, Bev, Wendy, and Sandy,
I was saddened to hear of your loss and send my deepest condolences. Chucky was a good man. He was a key guy to know in the neighborhood, and it didn't hurt that that his younger brother was a good friend of mine! Chucky cared and appreciated his family and friends. I wish you strength in this difficult time.
