Chuck was our next door neighbor for the past 25 years. Our entire family is saddened by his passing. Chuck was a wonderful neighbor who helped out our family whenever we had emergencies or needed to borrow his snow blower. He was aIways friendly, had a great outlook on life and was concerned about our community. I enjoyed our conversations in the front yard regarding politics and of course U of M football. He will be missed by our entire family. For the soul of Charles Watson, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
