Connie, Michael, and the entire Tacconelli family, I am saddened to read of Chuck's death some 10 years ago. I remember meeting this larger-than-life person when I was an AAL/Thrivent representative, and my respect and admiration for him grew as I did business with him over the years. I will always remember your and Chuck's warm hospitality when I called on you at your home, and Chuck's respect for and appreciation of my work with him. He, indeed, was one of my favorite clients, and is remembered with great fondness. May you and all the members of your family find peace, remembering the very special person Chuck was. Charlotte A. Pakan

Connie and family - 9 years later and I still think about Chuck. I retired last year so I now have the perspective to say that Chuck will always be remembered as one of my favorite patients, actually favorite people, that I knew in 40 years of practice. Just want to be sure that his memory is kept alive. I still miss his stories and his smile.

I am very saddened to learn of Chuck's passing. He was a great guy to work with, a loving & caring husband, father, and grandfather. I only wish we could have laughed together just one more time before his passing. To his family from mine, please accept our sincerest condolences.

On the Saturday evening after Chuck's funeral, I went out with my family for dinner. I brought a bottle of Chuck's prized Barolo wine. We toasted Chuck, the best husband, father, friend, and winemaker!

We were only neighbors for a few years, but we will truly miss Chuck. We could always count on him for a laugh and to lend a hand (or his tools!) if we needed help. You couldn't ask for better neighbors. Our thoughts and prayers are with Connie and the rest of the family.

Growing up next to the Tacconelli's was great. Chuck was the first person to teach me the whole 'pull my finger' joke. He was always funny and treated everyone with the utmost respect. You will be missed by many!!

I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of Joe's Pop. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. and Mrs. Tacconelli when Joe brought them in to North Montco to introduce them to the class. I found Mr. Tacconelli to be very charming, funny and his love and pride for his family was evident. My deepest sympathy to the whole family.

"What can I say Doc, I had a good run." Those are the last words I will always remember from Chuck. He was the best. One of a kind. I will always remember his stories, his laughter, and his unabiding love for "Lou", his children, and his grandchildren. We were both only children but I always told Chuck he was my "big brother." I admired him greatly and I will miss him even more.
