We have many fond memories of Chuck when we met and he hired Keith at Seaboard Foods so many years ago. Fran, we are so sorry for your loss and heaven has gained another angel.
You and your family are in our prayers.

Fran, we will miss Charles' warm, joyful, and a bit ornery, smile, as well as his great stories of the old days with his brothers and cousins (my Dad, T.D. included). You were a blessing in Charles' life and we know you will miss him. Our family's prayers are with you. Much love.

Chuck hired me in 1972 to work for Seaboard Coffee. I spent 14 years working there and always counted Chuck as a good friend and a caring boss. Lots of good memories of Chuck and all the folks that worked there. God's Peace to the family! Chuck was a good man and friend. I hope the same can be said of me when my time comes.
