Knew Chuck, (also known as Sonny) back when I was a child, when the Frick family lived behind us in Apollo. Fond memories of Sonny when he was a volunteer fireman, with our Dad at Apollo Hose Co#2, when he and Val were camp hosts at Loyalhanna Park, and eating at the Creekside restaurant. He was a big powerful man with a gentle heart. May God be with you and the family.
