Chuck was a kind gentle man. I still can see his big grin when he laughed. I have told so many people the story he told me about fishing at the beach in the sand casting into the water and just relaxing, watching the view. His stories of family, business headaches that he chose to laugh at at some point, the tomato plants. He will be sorely missed far and wide, yet will never be forgotten. So much love to your family.
