I always loved seeing Chuckie come in while I was at jam sessions. You always saw his passion while he was on stage and I had the honor of playing with him a few time and it was an experience that helped me let go of inhibitions behind the drums and just learn to feel the music. So sorry that you are gone you will be missed.

What a soulful musician he was! Also how nice he was and how genuine he was. He showed me how to play the drums.
