Steve and I met Chuck many years ago when visiting my lifelong childhood friend, Mary.
Chuck had this bigger than life personality! He was so welcoming, kind, fun, and caring. Just a great soul! There was no doubt that their relationship would become everlasting!
Mary and family, cherish all the wonderful memories you´ve made with Chuck.. Chuck will be missed by all who knew him.

Sincerely,
Susan(Westfall) & Steve Holloway

So sorry to hear this news. Our deepest condolences to Mary and family. I cherish the memories of working alongside Chuck at WISD. His compassion and creativity with the students was inspiring and heartwarming. Our son Joe is now 51 but remembers Chuck. As Joe says "you´re the Best!".
