Nancy, Erin and Colin, our deepest condolences. Chuck and I knew each other in high school and became friends when were roomates in college. We lost track after college. I wish I knew he was so close by... would have went for a ride. I too remember that great sense of humor. The world is a better place for having him here and we will miss him.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I met Chuck in college and reconnected when Colin and Colleen were in school together. My prayers are with you.

I worked with Chuck at NGPL for a number of years. Chuck was a great inspiration to me and I credit him with my decision to work in the IT field. He was extremely knowledgable and very willing to share his knowledge. He had a great sense of humor and kept us laughing quite a bit. I hadn't seen Chuck in a few years since NGPL dissolved. My deepest sympathy to his family. Find solace in that fact he is at peace and is not in pain.
