Dear Grell Family,
Our family is so sorry to hear about Chuck's passing. He was one of the long time gang in our old 6th and 7th avenue north neighborhood. Chuck, Vic, my brother Kimm and I, the other guys and sometimes our older sisters, Sandy and Steph, played many a baseball, football and basketball game, threw lots of snowballs, skated, sledded, rode bikes, played some golf, went swimming, were in scouts, walked back and forth to Wilson School and then rode the bus to jr. high and high school, and hung out at Dan Marsh and the Spaniol Bowling Alley. Chuck is in the middle of it all and all of those great memories. Our hearts are with you. Mark Brand
