I had been racking my brain to think of the perfect memory to share, the Jazz game hijinx, the terrifying porcelain clown, the Big Pink Easter Bunny, The Dump, the pole saw, but I could not find he words to express these in any way that would make sence to any but we. Then it hit me, my favorite memories are not any single moment, but rather of the lifetime spent in your company, none of the countless bbq's, and holiday feasts, or pool party's would have meant anything were it not for your kindness and love. We miss you Chuck, I miss you Chuck, until that day we meet again, Rest In Peace , Love you Sir.

I had been racking my brain trying to think of the perfect memory to share, the Jazz game , the Easter Bunny, the Garbage dump, the Pole saw, the terrifying porcelain clown, etc., but I could not put in words any of these experiences in a way that any but we could possibly understand, when it hit me, my greatest memories are not single things about you, the greatest was a lifetime spent in your company, all the dinners, and bbq's and swimming trips alone meant nothing, without your kindness and love. We miss you Chuck, I miss you Chuck!, until that day we meet again, Rest In Peace ,Love you Sir..

We miss you very much, Chuck! Thank you for the love and the memories, thank you for the laughs.
I can only imagine a wonderful reunion for you, back with Grandma, Grandpa, Dad and Kevin.
I will always remember backyard bbqs with the pool and hot tub as a child, up to this past fall re-roofing my house, and all of the holidays and celebrations in between.
We love you.
