We were childhood playmates in Chicago. He was my first `bud.´ We lost touch when we were six or seven or eight. I had always hoped to re-connect, but couldn´t find a way. My most vivid memory of him is of the two of us facing each other in a bathtub when we were 3.

I never had a Brother until I became part of this family. You and Marilyn always made me feel welcome, even from day one. I will miss the laughs...even the teasing about my Irish heritage! So sad you are no longer here with us.

I lost track of the Flos side of the family years ago but still carry wonderful memories and stories. Chuck was dedicated to his family and his country. Uncle Ed and Aunt Leona constantly told stories about all the comings and goings in Denver and beyond. My condolences to the family and friends ... Chuck was someone special. Your cousin, Bob U

I regret that as the family dispersed away from Chicago IL, we didn't stay closer in touch. I enjoyed the calls over Christmas that we had the last few years but wish they'd started earlier and been more often. You were a GREAT guy and a GREAT family man. I'm very proud of both your military service and your service to Denver as a policeman. You'll be missed. Your cousin, Bill U

Uncle Chuck you made me want to be a better person. You and Uncle Mike were as close to a dad that I ever had and i will always love you for that. I am a positive and productive woman because of you. One of the last things you said to me was to be good to the ones I love and I promise to. I love you and miss you.
