My condolences to the family and friends of Chuck. I am an Oak Park Police Officer and always enjoyed a good laugh with Chuck whenever we encountered each other. He was always so friendly and I never saw him in anything but a good mood at work. I am very sorry to hear of his passing. May God bless him and his family.
