I just found out about Chas and I am heartbroken. I am so very sorry to his children and brother and sister for their huge loss. I had spoken with him in April and he was dreaming about trips to take and places to go and see. How very sad. My condolences - he left us way too soon!

I recall helping to "onboard" Chuck when he joined Overlook in 2008. When I backfilled him as Secretary/Recorder of the NATO Navigation Warfare Capability Team in 2017, he returned the favor in spades with a full and complete transition and orientation to people, mission, and detailed processes of the team. He remained at my call as needed through 2018. We had a couple of great dinners together while in The Hague; I'll miss his energy and conscientious professionalism.... all good thoughts

Chuck was a great guy. I always enjoyed spending time with him. He was direct and said what he meant, but he was never preachy or arrogant; rather he had an easy way about him that always let people know he was helping them versus trying to one-up them. I have missed his companionship the last couple of years and offer my sincere condolences to his family, who will be without their Dad and Grandpa.

My condolences to the family for the loss of your dear loved one. Everything your loved one was...kind, loving and thoughtful will live in the hearts and memories of those that loved them. May these memories comfort you during your grieving process.
