Oh Chuck. How it was so hard to realize you were finally taken into god arms today at your funeral. You were family. You brought my grandpa communion every Sunday, you let him talk your ear off you had a deep down conversation with him. You helped fix the little things around my house. You will forever be missed.

It was great honor to usher with Chuck at 7:30 mass at Queen of All Saints. 7:30 mass, won't be the same without you. You will be greatly missed.
RIP, my friend.
