    So sorry for your loss, Pat. Charles and Chuck were BFF ‘s for so many years. Chuck thought so much of Charles. He will be missed. I really enjoyed knowing you two.

    My condolences to the entire family. Sorry to hear of Uncle Chuck’s passing. He was a wonderful man, and a great god-father. I remember well his gentle humor, and calm demeanor. He would remember my birthday each year, and this was very much appreciated – especially since the birthday cards continued way past the time when most people stopped sending cards.

    My father and I enjoyed being able to visit with him several years ago, in FL. Too short, but an enjoyable visit.

    He will be much missed.
