To my cousin Chuck who will forever hold a special place in my heart. I will always have such fond memories of my childhood summers in Lakeland and those silly times you loved picking on your little cuz to adulthood when you would come to Tallahassee to work and always made a special point to meet up with us and even sitting at my moms bedside while she was in the hospital.
I can proudly say that you were a great man, father, husband and grandfather and you will be missed by so many.
I also send my thoughts, prayers and love to my family.
