Patty and family, I was so shocked to hear of Chuck’s passing. He was such a big part of our family when he and Barry were in High School together and after. He was the person that made everyone in the room laugh. I can not remember a time when he was sad or angry. Even though we have been out of touch over the years, I can still hear his laugh. I pray that as time goes by, the hurt of losing him will not be so hard on you all. Remembering the good times will help. Again, my sympathy to all of you at your loss.
Patty and Family: My husband and I have so many fond memories of Chuck, when he was in high school. He was a very happy and caring person. Alan enjoyed coaching him in wrestling and he was a friend. His smile and personality always lit up a room. Our prayers and thoughts are with you, your children and other family members. Al and Vicki Baxter
