Uncle Chuck, many memories I have of watching you preach on Sunday mornings and singing songs at Christmas time. All my early memories of church are because of you and I will always be thankful for that.
I'm also thankful that later in life you came to visit with the brothers and go to Steeler camp.
You will never be forgotten, and always will be missed.
Thank you Aunt Kathy for being there for him.

Charles Logan Williams, what a special person. You are truly missed here today by all whose lives you have touched. To me, you are my Uncle, my Brother, my friend. Your smile and love will forever live in my heart. Thank you for shining the Light on my life's path, and for giving to the Lord, because I am a life that was changed.

We rest in knowing that death brings new life, and for you - your life has just begun. All of heaven rejoices – and His master said to Chuck, ‘Well done, thy good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.'

Dear Kathy, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

With Love & deepest sympathy,

my uncle chuck was an selfless, compassionate, honorable man. if you were involved in a conversation with him, you were guaranteed a smile and most of the time even a laugh or two. his impression of a certain cartoon rooster was one of the techniques he would use to draw a mid-conversation chuckel (pun intended). the countless stories i have heard from his childhood through him and his brothers will be stories i pass on to my children someday. we all know that he is in a better place now, but that doesn't make it any less of a loss here on earth. you will be deeply missed up there old friend. we love you and will never forget the man that you were, and the lives you have touched.

Kathy,

I am speechless. Hearing the news of Chuck's death saddened me so much. He was a good friend, a compassionate pastoral caregiver and a dear man. He served the spiritual needs of the patients and staff of John Dempsey Hospital with the highest integrity, dedication and generosity. Simply put, it was a delight and a privilege to know Chuck.

I am afraid that I will be out of town and unable to attend the calling hours and funeral. Please be assured that Chuck is in my thoughts and prayers as are you and your entire family.

With deepest sympathy,

I have known "Uncle Chuck" since I was very young. My memories of him are of a gentle man who would do anything for anyone. Although I have not seen him in recent years, I would hear updates from my Uncle Ron and Aunt Lyn about him. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and pray for the family to get through this knowing he lived his life doing for others and find peace in their hearts.
