It was a privilege to have served the Lord in central Ohio the years that Bro. Chuck worked with us. I have fond memories of him, that lovely smile he always had, the great sermons and wonderful sense of humor. He was a faithful Christian man; one I shall always remember. Please accept my most sincere condolences on his passing and I know that he is rejoicing now and forever in the presence of the Lord he loved and served.
