I remember Chuck and Barbara because they raised me for the 1st 2 years of my life. I love them dearly and my cousins Robbie and Jimmie.

I wish I had known sooner. Chuck and Barb were an enormously important part of my early life.

Barb, Rob, Jim, & Christine -
Was extremely sorry to hear of Chuck's passing. He and I worked together in PCA's Design Dept. for 10 years and he was a great friend. I will never forget how he made me feel so welcome after I left Chicago to come to Michigan. I will miss him but I know where he is, and we will.meet again!

BARBARA AND FAMILY
Just heard of Chuck's passing and did know he had been ill. He was not only a cousin of my husband but a truly wonderful person. He will be missed. My prayers are with you in the days ahead.

Barb, we are deeply saddened upon hearing of Chuck's passing. He was a genuinely nice person and a great neighbor.
He was intelligent, interesting and enjoyable to talk with. It was a privilege to have Chuck as a friend and neighbor these past 20 years. He will be dearly missed by the entire neighborhood.
