I very much miss swimming with Chuck at the Lompoc Aquatic Center. Even though he would sometimes splash me when I least expected it. He was the dictionary definition of a mensch, ad I miss him at the pool.

Chuck and had an obsession with swimming at the Aquatic Center in Lompoc. 11:30 am. Chuck was an outstanding swimmer clicking off 3,000 yards in an hour. He would keep track of the lap he was swimming by the name of the family member on his list. He was a caring person who kept track of swimmer friends. Spiritually Chuck would say, "you know Bob there really is something to this belief im God stuff. He coped with serious continuos cancer treatment by his belief in God. His work as an artist glass blower was spectacular. He sold his glass waves on ETSY to buyers all over the world. He mastered the technique of using several kinds of glass in a creation of a beautiful ocean wave statutes. Well this comment about my friend is just a hint of the life he led. Amazing! Wonderful man now in God's hands.
Bob Forinash, his pal in the next lane.

Chuck had a sense of humor second to none. His funny way of looking at life made life around him a lot of fun. Hard charging surfer, dedicated craftsman, fine human being. Thanks for the crazy times we had in Costa Rica on 'Mister Chuck's Wild Ride!'

Chuck was a friend and neighbor & always had an interesting tale to share.
Visiting him at the studio in Harmony & watching him work was a highlight of understanding his art.
He had many great surf stories to share & had a great collection of surf boards to admire bless his surfing soul

Fondest and everlasting memories are etched in my mind about your wildman VW bus driving skills through the rivers in Costa Rica back in the 70's! They only made one Chuck Walters--an unforgettable 'hombre mas fuerte'! RIP

RIP my friend. It's been a good 40+ years since we met. Dusted off one of your paperweights and having a beer while reading this. You and Al save me a spot I'll be along soon enough...
