I cannot tell you how sorry I am to hear about your dad, Chuck Jr. I was shocked and saddened by the news.
The loss of one’s father marks one of the most profound rites of passage in our life.
I know how close you were to your father and what an influence he had on your life.
Here is a favourite pic of mine of you,your mother and your father. I have always adored you all.
Just wanted to say no matter wherever he is, he'll always be watching over you.

My sincere condolences to the McNamara family and esp. to my friend, mentor and once a manager, Chuck Jr on losing his dad. Although I have never been to the US or met the McNamara family, the warmth that I have always received from Chuck Jr. is a testament and reflection of the kind heart his father Chuck Sr. must have held himself and bestowed to his family. I wish the strongest of hearts to the McNamara family and other friends to overcome this heavy moment and the most gentle of thoughts and love in cherishing the bygone memories.
I'm sure to always cherish this photo, this blemishless smile of Chuck Sr. even as I recollect those memories from years ago of delicious cookies that Chuck Jr. had brought for us from aunt Joan during his India trip. What a fantastic couple both must have been in sharing their love and radiance! As noted by the younger Chuck, they must surely be beside each other now.
I have always wished, and Chuck Jr. knows this, that I wanted to meet his mom and dad! I could not meet either of them - It's not to be now but I am a believer in the cycle of life and I am sure in another time and another world, I'll meet them both. In reading some reminiscences here, I am sure I would have found a wonderful friend and guide in Chuck Sr. I wish him only the best in his onward journey.
My salute to the veteran and a lovely family person! May he find peace and bless us all with forbearance. Om Shanti!

I was lucky enough to know Chuck, I will always remember the fun we had on our trip to Vegas, the fun times we had while out at a restaurant, dancing and having a grand old time. Joanie and Chuck are great people, I am lucky to have known them and their whole family. Hope you are up there dancing away with Joanie. Xoxox Jenn

To the family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I had the fortune of meeting Chuck Sr several times at the races and over a Martini. Chuck was a good man, a devoted husband and father and had the most warm and infectious smile. The man could certainly spin a yarn and oh what laugh! RIP Chuck and enjoy the races from the best seat in the house with your beloved!

To the Mcnamara family, my deepest condolences. I never had the privilege of knowing Charles Sr. but I have known Charles Jr. for several years and reading the short bio of Sr. I know without a doubt what a great man Sr. was as it is reflected in Charles Jr., the great stories, the passion for golf, thoroughbreds and the love of family. Charles Sr. will no doubt be missed. My deepest condolences to the family. May the peace of the Lord be on each of you in this time of sorrow.

Sorry to hear about Chucks passing. I’ve known him since I was a small child. Great family. My father and Chuck were once partners on the Phila police dept. Living in Delaware County i would run in to him over the years here and there. He always took time to stop and catch up. Most of the time “Joanie” would be with him. They were like teenagers together. Always good to see her as well. Take care and know that my prayers are with the family. They lost a good man. Michael J. Kelly
