Tributes
"Going to miss you Chuck,you don?t know how many times I wanted to call you since you passed away and just have our little talks to ask how your pillow is helping your looks and you asking me the same thing. How we would joke around with each other but yet have a serious side too. How beating you at canasta and still joke around, and how you would tell us about your child life when growing up. You were my brother but most of all you were my best friend. You may be gone naturally but you will always remain in my heart and thoughts. You were the best and your going to be missed. "
