CHARLES "CHUCK" AUSTIN

Peace, Love and Blessings to all for the kind words and prayers. I miss you Daddy!

I remember how important you father was to you. I am sorry for your loss.

We miss you so much Pop-Pop! I dream about having one more conversation and one more hug. We were so blessed to have a grandfather so caring and true. I pray my two boys grow up to be as remarkable as you. We miss you so much! Until we see you again... Love always...

Now playing in the heavenly choir; rest in peace my friend!!

Just heard the news of Chuck's transition from a family friend. Many blessings to Chuck's family. Chuck was a life long and dear friend to my father Merritt Dalton from Homewood, they jammed together from childhood to adulthood, and played together in the Lloyd Price Orchestra for many years. The band in heaven just got a little more sweet. I know he's with his buddy.

To Chuck: Although we never met in person, you were one of the kindest and gentlest men I have ever encountered -- a true credit to your chosen calling, and to humankind. You will be sorely missed.

Chuck, you will be missed! Thanks for all of the wonderful recording sessions we did! Now you can "jam" with Gabriel!!
Leonard W. Johnson, III
