Of all the memories in our lives, Chuck Sullivan and his family were most dear to our hearts. Early in the mid 1980's we met Chuck and his family at our Central Amherst Little League. Besides Chuck's amazing personality he brought along thousands of smiles and laughter for all the players and their families. He became a treasured part of our family and was always the first to offer help in any way that he could.

In our hearts we know all too well that the Almighty never put a better person in our lives and on this earth. Our prayers remain steadfast with our beloved Laura and her family. We know Chuck will be waiting for each of at the Gates of Heaven. Please be patient, Chuck, we'll all see you soon.

With much love,
Darrell, Marcy, Christian, and Andy Moore
