I only had the pleasure of spending time with Chuck as 5th and 6th graders at Dort Elementary in Roseville. He was so genuine and a shining light then and obviously, continued as such into adulthood. He will be missed by all who knew him. I pray that God's grace strengthen and sustain his family in this time of great loss.

I have such great memories of Chuck being the car pool driver for 3 of us girls down to WSU--always a lot of laughs, especially the day the steering column came right up out of the floor! He was a wonderful person and I feel blessed to have known him. Rest In Peace.

Thank you Chuck for being a friend. When you and Dawn looked me up in Mobile and we had lunch it was a high light for the year. Chuck I will always remember our days at Center Line and our lasting friendship. May God's blessings be upon your family and friends. Your friend Terry.

To your family Chuck I give my sincere condolences. Also to those who know Chuck were blessed by a person who gave his complete self into whatever it was he got involved in. Friendship, family, children, sports, work, life itself. Thanks for the honor of getting to know you and be a part of your life God bless you.

I had the pleasure of meeting Chuck at Beth and Steve's home at a barbeque one time. He had such an amazing knowledge of music from "the old days"... it was such a joy talking with him. I saw him at other times and could see his love and pride in his family. He will be truly missed.
