I only knew Chuck as a long-time satisfied customer at Exclusively. He was one of the reasons that I kept going back all these years. I last saw him there in October of last year, and was very, very sorry to recently learn of his passing. God bless.

To Chuck, my love and life. I can't imagine my life without you. I keep expecting you to walk through our front door, when our phone rings,I expect to hear your voice and laugh.
Rest in Peace. I will make sure our plans for our granddaughter and our daughter and the house are done to our many talks we had.
I LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!
Darlyn, your wife and partner

I was terribly sad to read about Chuck's passing. I had only been a customer of his for a short time at Exclusively, but he was the reason I kept going back. He knew his job very well and was just an honest, decent guy who went out of his way to take care of customers.

One time, my car was late getting back from the body shop and rather than locking up for the night and letting me wait outside as he could have done, he stayed until my car came back - almost an hour after regular closing time on a Friday.

I remember sitting there thinking that's just something not everyone would do for someone they hardly knew.

My best wishes to his family.

To my father:

Everyday I wake to expect this to be a nightmare that I'm waking up from. You were the glue and we all feel lost without your presence. Everyone (especially Thing Thing) expects you to walk in that door. I miss you tremendously and will love you always.

Michelle - Your Brat.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. Chuck was a giving and helpful neighbor who asked for nothing in return. Brake lights...I will always think of Chuck. He will be greatly missed. Hang in there Darlyn, Michelle, and Ariana- you are a strong, great group of women. Much love to you all, Sara

Would you believe, the one time I am at a loss for words!!! For me, Chuck was the most caring brother a girl could have. It always seems that the Lord takes the good ones first or way before their time, in my opinion anyway. Evidently there is something more important that he needs to do in the universe but for the life of me I can't figure out what that would be. I have never been very good at putting my feelings down on paper (so to speak) and rambling seems to suit me best.

I don't think Chuck really knew how many folks really cared for him. He had such an endearing smile and wholesome laugh that could and would infect anyone he came in contact with.

Although he really did not get to finish what he wanted to do here on earth, hopefully he is at peace with the Lord.

I Loved him so much there are not enough words to convey it and life will not be the same without him.
