My precious smart, funny baby brother. I helped you learn to walk. You regaled me with your inimitable humorous observations on life (and people). There were never any frowns when you were present. You had a gift of gab and white-hot wit that I have never encountered since, not even with many of the so-called "professional" comedians. I hope you, Daddy, Mama, Millard, and Nick are all up there sharing love and laughs. There has not been a day since you have been gone that I have not thought of you. I still have your cell phone number in my phone book, where it will remain for the rest of my days. I smile/laugh when I think of things you have said. Remember the "free pie" place? That is only one of many precious memories. How I wish I had had the foresight to tell you what you meant to me before it was too late. I can only hope that you know now. You deserve the depth of peace and bliss which I choose to believe that you are now enjoying. I will love you to my dying day. I will continue to think of you every day to my dying day. Pray God we will meet again. I choose to believe that we will. Tell everyone there that you hold dear, whether or not I knew them, that I said hello. God be with you, as I am sure He is. (P.S. Please say hi to Elvis from one of his biggest fans!)

My deepest condolences to the Knuckles family. I am so proud to have known Chuck. It was so good to see him again at the class reunion. He truly is a special person. We are all so blessed to have had Chuck touch our lives. He will be missed but not forgotten.

You cannot turn this page without bringing one more smile.

Your reach was long and you touched so many throughout your life Chuck. We'll look back on your life hoping our lives may be remembered so fondly - by so many. You kept me in the loop these last years my friend. I know you are dreaming easy with the angels now. If you find yourself bored, look for my brother, no doubt he'll share some laughs with you till we all see each other again.
