I extend my heartfelt sympathy to Mary lou and family during this time of grief with the sudden death of a wonderful, kind man..."Chuckie" as I always knew him. Throughout the years of a chance meet up...I would always walk away with a smile on my face. Always blessed with his wit..and positive attitude!
His life of service and Love of God was a life he was taught by his parents and family...who I'm sure welcomed at the gates of Heaven!
May God Bless you all during this difficult time.

I remember Chuck as ALWAYS being in a great mood. All four years of high school, whenever I met up with him at a class reunion or a chance meeting in Berlin, always a great mood. Always friendly and glad to talk. He will be missed by everyone who knew him and especially the kids from the class of 1966.

Cannot believe he's gone. When we were little kids he would give us a ride to the sand pit in the old ford. That was before it was restored of course. He always made you smile and was the life of the party. We were looking forward to seeing him at the church during the holidays. He was a wonderful loving man and will not be forgotten. Thoughts and prayers to you during this difficult time. Hugs being sent your way. Love you.
