I just learned of Chuck's passing. I was floored! In 1990, I became the Office Manager for cisco's (little c) NY Sales Office. Within two hours of my first day (I was still waiting for desks to be delivered!), I received a gorgeous bouquet of flowers with a card that read "Welcome to the wild, wacky, wonderful world of cisco", love Chuck. I will never forget and that day began a beautiful friendship and a mentorship I was blessed to be given. Chuck helped shape the path of my life and I will forever be grateful.

I'll meet you up in heaven. Love you!

I was very saddened to hear about Chuck's passing. It is a huge loss to say the least. I met Chuck at one of my first Cisco Sales meetings back in 96. The New York team was always loud and proud in the back of the hall with their horns blaring. Chuck was one of the top sales people in the company. When he was called up to receive his award, I'll never forget him taking the microphone out of one of our executives hands and screaming "New York Rules" like a rock star. When the exec tried to take back the mic, Chuck pulled it away stating "I just have one more thing to say". Chuck embodied the "good old days" at Cisco and I was glad to call him a friend. My condolences go out to Chuck's Family.

I met Chuck in May of 2008. I was his personal trainer at Club H Fitness in Jersey City. I feel blessed to have known Chuck. He was a loving, friend and Father. He spoke of his children often and would tell me about the trips they had taken and were planning. He was so kind and thoughtful. My prayers are with you Chuck and your family. I miss you and I know you are in heaven looking down.

Sincerely,

I had the great fortune to meet Chuck while working at Cisco. Our professional acquaintence quickly evolved into a good friendship. That was just the kind of guy Chuck was; friendly, open and personable. It was not uncommon for our conversations to quickly move from the mundane topics of routers and switches to more important issues of the world like music, drink, friends and family.
I and others will miss you, but I am sure you are up there with a bagel now looking down laughing.
Take care, god speed.

Dear Pease Family - I am so sorry for your loss. You should know that many of us here in Cisco RTP, NC loved Chuck. From his gift of Bagels and Cream Cheese for all the engineers, to sending flowers to the presenters in the Briefing Center - we all felt part of Chuck's inner circle. Thank you for sharing him with us, and know that we will miss him, as well.

Dear Pease family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Like someone else said, I have very fond memories of seeing Chuck at the soccer fields when Jordan and my son Ryan played soccer together. He was usually in shorts having just run around the area while waiting for the game to start, and it didnt matter how cold out it was! Whenever we saw him, he always had a smile and a kind word for us. He was especially kind to my late husband, who would try and interest him in different health products that he was involved in, so I am saddened by your loss and will pray for all of you. If we can help you in any way, please do not hesitate to call on us.

Chuck was truly a great guy. We have so many happy memories of him on the Soccer Fields and trips taken when we played out-of-town. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. John and Ann Mullane (Blazers)

Chuck and I have been friends since we were 12 year old. I am happy to say that we re-connected over the past couple years and spent some quality time together - remembering the past, sharing our individual challenges that life presented us and finding some time to have some fun. All I can say is that "Chuck was Chuck". I know no one like him and doubt I will ever meet anyone like him. I am forever thankful that my parents bought that house on Lafayette Road, around the corner from the Pease family.

I love you buddy. Heaven will never be the same.

Chuck was a generous and upstanding salesman at Cisco, and will forever be remembered as "the Bagel Man" to those of us who staffed the technical support center back in the nineties. While other salesmen routinely yelled at and threatened the support team, but Chuck would show his appreciation by sending dozens of New York bagels and schmear to the stressed out Silicon Valley support center. When Chuck called for help, we all climbed over each other to help him.

A class act, all the way. He will be sorely missed.

I am so very sorry to read about the death this wonderful man. I think the last time I saw him he might have been 12 years old- "Chuckys' family and mine were neighbors on Longcroft Road. Mrs Pease, I am so sorry for the loss of your son. Please accept my deepest sympathy. May he rest in peace,and find joy joining his Dad in heaven. I hope that you will find peace in your heart with your memories of Chuck.(except I keep thinking of him as 'Chucky") Kind regards to you and your family.

It is very poignant that I’m writing this on June 6th.

My Dad, Joseph A. is a WWII Vet… a decorated member of the 35th Infantry that landed at Normandy, France on June 6th. He served as a medic both on the beaches of Normandy and later at the Battle of the Bulge at Bastogne.

We have often shared an evening watching Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers where he would try… to explain to me what it was like…and I would try to understand.

He has often said to me “Son, as you go through life you will meet a lot of people but always ask yourself”…

“Would you want to be in a 2 person fox hole with this person when everything is on the line and riding on it..?”

I met Chuck in the spring of 1991 at a time when Cisco (little c) had 3 products. From that time until the last time I saw him he was always the same. He was always there to do the right thing and always had time for the System Engineers, their problems and their concerns… and more often than not took on the issue as his own.

Known in California at one time as the Bagel Man, Chuck was fond of sending a Bagel and Cappuccino / Coffee cart to the parking lot of Cisco in Menlo Park and San Jose for the TAC and Development people that had helped him on an issue with a customer.

The last time I saw Chuck was at a birthday party on Long Island about 2 years ago. He just came from a customer’s site and was a little late but there was no chance that he was going to miss this party for a friend… someone that he had often shared a foxhole with.

So the next time my Dad’s movie night rolls around and he asks me to queue up his VCR to watch Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers and he asks me, “Son, have you ever met somebody that you would want to share a foxhole with?”

I can look him dead straight in the eye and say “Yes Dad, …. I have.”

Thanks Chuck, I’ll miss you.

Dear Aunt Anna, cousins Dorothy and Anna Marie and Chuck's children Jamie, John, Jordan - We can't express the sadness we all feel with Chuck's passing. Certainly I feel it most deeply . . . I have such fond memories of my cousin, Chuck as we grew up together . . . Sunday dinners at Grandma & Grandpa Leone's . . . spending a lot of time sitting at opposite ends of the couch at 60 Longcroft in "time out" (though not labelled that then!) for some mischief we'd gotten into . . . going to ballgames at Red Wing Stadium, playing under the old Willow tree in your family's backyard. Childhood pictures are saved and treasured in my photo albums . . . I will not forget his exuberance for life and how lovingly he spoke of his family when we had the opportunity to talk in our adult years, and how kind he was when my Dad died last August. I know your hearts are all breaking at this moment . . . that's how we know we are human . . . how we know that this was a special person . . . that we have lost something. I hope in time memories of Chuck will bring only smiles and stories of good times shared together. Try to place your faith in God's plan. With love and deepest sympathy, Karen, John, Cooper and Mack Howell
