I will always be grateful to have known Chuck as a mentor, a boss and a fun, kind friend. He was truly a man for which I have great respect.

My sincere condolences to Laura, Chris, Veronica, and Chuck´s grandkids. Chuckles, as I called him was a great co-worker and a better friend. We have had many fun times, great conversations and so many laughs. He will be truly missed by all that knew him. I was a lucky one that have always called him my friend. Rest peacefully Chuck. Until we meet again.
