Last month when I saw him at the restaurant, he told me he was afraid to go back to the hospital because he knew they would keep him there. He did now want to go through that again. I could see many emotions as his eyes welled up with tears. I pray his spirit is at peace now, free from his earthly body.

Chuck had a sweet side to him. I worked for him for a while and waited on him for many years at the Blue Star. I will never for get the time he bought my daughter a few Christmas presents when he knew I didn't have much money. He has been an icon in Auburn Hills (Pontiac Twp.) for many years and will always be remembered

Charles was a true friend, always helping those in need, he will be well missed. He was a good friend and boss, I have worked several different times for him, and I will miss his sense of humor and his witty comments.

We will all miss all the funny stories about the shop and his experiences. Chuck spent many a family holiday dinner with our family. I feel like a lost a member. God Bless You Chuck.
