Aunt Mary I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Chockley was such a special man and I know he will be greatly missed. I have some great memories of our family camping trips, houseboat trips and family picnics. He always had a funny story or song and those are things I will always remember. May he Rest In Peace.

Aunt Mary, my heart is broken for you at the loss of Uncle Chockley. I have so many wonderful memories of my childhood with Uncle Chockley. I'm so glad my children had the opportunity to spend time with him and get know his amazing sense of humor. Grant spent months after each Christmas imitating him. He will be so miss by everyone. I'm sure Rob and Mom will keep him company until we all meet again.
