DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY.
MISS YOU CHUCK.
REST IN PEACE CHUCK & CARLA.
Sorry to have learned of Chucks passing. We went way back to 1st grade at McKean school through Utica High school. Hadn’t seen him since graduation. He was one of my past classmates that I would have liked to have ran into again. My thoughts go out to Chuck’s family, you have my deepest sympathy.

To Chuck’s Family-
I met Chuck, when he moved next door on Indian Rocks…I could always count on him for great humor, smile, a strong back, and any support you might need. He so loved his family, and of course “Cat”, his adopted feline. “Cat” has a new home, but returns regularly to look for him.
I miss Chuck, and still look for him when I return home from work each evening; he will always be in my heart. We were very blessed to know him.
