Chuck was my first boss at RMS in East Hartford. Always had your back when the going got rough. I just found this guest book this morning, because I had the most vivid dream in which we greeted each other and I said "you still look the same" & he said the same to me, where's I said "nooo, really?" knowing it was almost 30 years later.

Sorry to hear about the loss of Chuck. I have fond memories of working with him at RMS and we had a lot of laughs. At the end of our working day we would sit and just talk about anything that came to mind.. I always considered Chuck a good friend and although we lost touch over the years, I thought about him often.

Warmest Regards,
Chet Ward
