It was always fun to play tennis with Chuck on those Sunday mornings. His humor made the early hour easier to overcome. We also enjoyed relating stories about our military service experiences. He will be missed.

Maisie, Carol and Mark. I am so sorry to read of Chuck's passing. All of you were special to me as friend or students. Chuck was a wonderful cheerleader for all of our music offerings, and it was always so good to see him at shows - long after I retired. I will keep you all in my thoughts, and I wish you peace.

So sorry to learn of Chuck's untimely passing. I knew him through SIT and various civic projects and was always impressed by his optimism, love of life, and unfailing good humor. Another fine person gone from this all too brief life on earth.

Dear Maisie and family,
I am sorry to read that Chuck has died. To my mind and memory he was the quintessential gentleman, always positive and curious, upbeat and willing to go the extra mile. From the seventies when I was a student teacher with him at the ESL program to his courtesy when I met him recently on the streets of Brattleboro he was always such a good soul. I offer my condolences and wish you all the best as you manage his loss in these strange times.

As I remember Chuck, I am so impressed and drawn to how he was so full of life. He loved to be involved with people, young and older, and in particular with their learning. He was a born educator, though I knew him to be comfortable with a spade in hand as well as with a book under arm. He was profoundly dedicated to the teaching of students from all walks of life, from so many areas of the world. He inspired learners to appreciate the beauty of the English language and to strive to communicate it correctly. As a friend and colleague I was often comforted by his warm support and encouraged by his example of well prepared instruction. His smile, his light truly will be missed.

Chuck was a very special friend of ours since the 1970's. My husband and I will miss him. He had such a wit and made me laugh. He and I shared a love of the ocean and South Pond, any body of water really. I sincerely hope that wherever Chuck is, that he is enjoying tennis, the ocean and the English language. My sincere condolences to his wonderful wife, Maisie, and his beautiful children, Carol and Mark.
