I got to know and appreciate Chuck's wisdom and humor during my years at SLDC. He was a genuinely kind man who always maintained a keen interest in his fellow humans and the city he worked and lived in. Condolences to his family. He will be missed.

Chuck was a mentor to me. When I did an internship in the early 1970s with the St. Louis County Department of Planning he was my supervisor. His patient, caring approach to helping me get my feet wet in the profession stayed with my my entire career. I always admired his wisdom and compassion. His passing is a loss to the world.
