Chuck's Leadership within the Local 3 Community was legendary. Our dealings with Chuck were frequent and he always made himself available to help. He will be sorely missed within the Chapter. Our thoughts and prayers are with him, His family and his Friends. May you Rest in Peace my Friend.

I knew Chuck in his role as a public servant, when he was on the Board of Directors at Massport. He was a greatly admired colleague, and the whole Massport community-airport, seaport, neighborhoods, workforce-benefited from his leadership and devotion. May he rest in peace.
