Dear Rhoades family, I am so sorry to hear of Chucks passing.
He & my father, Richard Wasson, were very close friends for many years.
I believe the last time I saw him was when he came to my fathers surprise birthday party at our house.
Im sure my Dad was very happy to see him in Heaven
May His peace be with all of you.

To the entire family, I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Chuck and Marilyn were so kind to my siblings and I. As a young lad I remember visiting my Grandma and if I was lucky, getting to go over to the Rhoads's to play. RIP Chuck, condolences to the family.
