You will always be one of my favorite patients. Always had the most entertaining stories to distract us from our days and never did I hear him complain about anything. Such a great man. You will be in our prayers.

We were lucky to have Chuck as our next door neighbor for a decade. What I missed most after we moved last summer were our "stoop" conversations. I always enjoyed talking with Chuck. Our bull dog Ellie May loved Chuck as well! He always had a treat or two for her. God Bless...
