To an awesome uncle, you will be sorely missed and I love you. You were my rock, when I lost my dad, your brother, and I appreciate all that you said and did for me! I'm praying for Chuckie and his family as I know all too well how difficult death can be. God makes no mistakes, so you rest in peace and may God forever Bless You!
