Chuck was a great golf partner. It was always great to draw him as a partner or as an opponent.

What a shame. Chuck was one of the nicest men I have ever met. He was also a treat to play golf with.

Carmen:
We just heard about Chuck’s death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
We always thought highly of Chuck and enjoyed our visits over the years (many years ago).
I had read that he was an elder, and that was great news and know that he did an excellent work, as he was always wanting to be a servant of the Lord.
May God continue to uphold you in His hands.
