To my dearest friends the Dunsford Family,

It is with great regreat that I was unable to attend chuck's memorial. Chuck was always a staple anytime there was a Desmet Prom, a family member getting married, a close friend in need or a stranger who just seemed to need some advise. I can recall the many conversations with Chuck of past times and maybe the next great camera he was looking into. In may of 2008, prior to Desmets prom, Chuck got to see my two children for the first time and despite everthing he was going through, I got to see that big smile of his agian.

I too wish to say thank you for sharing him with all of my family and friends. Chuck was a great man, who will sadly be missed & I hope his passion & presence lives on forever.

Sorry Bev about your lost.
Gary and I were just talking about Chuck and his photography of our wedding 25 years ago. Our daughter lives in Colorado and is getting married later this year.

Our prayers are with you and your family. He will be missed by all but his footprint will be with us forever.

Love Gary & Fran Green
