Served on USS Catfish SS339 with Chuck from 1959 to late 1960. "Rest your oars, mate!"

So very sorry for your loss. I met Chuck randomly at the American Legion one evening. It turns out that he was there searching for my cousin who went down on the USS Thresher in 1963. He also painted a ceiling tile for my son who recently retired from the army. Chuck was a blessing to so many in so many ways. May you receive God's peace, comfort, and healing during this time of grieving.
