We met Chuck a few years ago when my wife and I were shoveling mulch onto our trailer at Two Rivers Park and he approached us to offer his tractor to load it. We accepted Chuck´s kind offer and proceeded to strike up a great conversation with him that left us with a wonderful and memorable impression of him. Although our paths never crossed again, we spoke of Chuck many times whenever we drove past the gardens and wondered how he was doing. Today we spoke with one of his fellow gardeners who mentioned his passing in conversation. We were very saddened to learn of his death and offer our condolences to his wife and family.
