Memories and thoughts are always present when we hear of the passing of a friend. We were remembering getting to know you all when the girls played softball together. He was a good father, husband and friend. You and the girls are in our thoughts and prayers.

Oh my gosh Shirely, there just aren't any words! I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you! You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Love ya! Hugs.

So sorry for your loss. You are all in our prayers.

Chuck was a very valuable member of our camp crew. He was always thinking ahead and helping anyone who needed it. The great part was that he was there before they knew they needed him. Everyone gets a name badge for the ride. He mentioned after his first ride that he hadn't received his. The next year we had a leather badge made for him by one of the crew that said "Huck Chigley" just for fun. The look on his face was priceless. I gave him his real one just a few minutes later. The point is, I don't think you could rattle the man. That happened about ten years ago and we still tell the story of Huck Chigley. We will continue to go camping each summer in the Rocky Mountains and we will save a spot by the campfire for our dear friend.

Chuck was such a nice person and so fun to work with. He even helped out with our Song Spinners shows when asked. I was honored to have known Chuck and spent many hours visiting with him. He was so proud of his daughters and wife and I amired that so much. You will be missed!

So sad to hear of Chuck's passing - He was a dear friend.

Chuck was a good friend in the years he worked for the City. Though I hadn't seen him for several years since his retirement, I still remember his friendly demeaner and helpful attitude. I pray for his family that this void will be filled with beautiful memories.

So sorry to hear of Chuck's untimely passing. Our prayers are for Shirley and the girls in this time of great loss and pain. I truly enjoyed working with Chuck for many years. He was always there to help and encourage regardless of the seriousness of the cases he assisted me with. Chuck's passing will leave a big hole in all of our lives. He was a special friend and I will always remember the happy, smiling face of Facilities very own "Huggy Bear".

Shirley and Family, a loved one that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts and minds, through us, they live on. Please accept our condolences, Chuck will not be forgotten.

I am sorry for your loss. This life is short and there does not seem we have enough time with our loved ones. I hope you will be comforted in knowing you see him again. My prayers are for you and your family . Although our memories may dim in time, I hope they will help in this time of sorrow.

Shirley I am so sorry for the passing of your beloved Chuck. I pray for peace that transcends all understanding to be your portion as you allow the Lord to comfort you during this time of sorrow. My prayers are that you are assured with the knowledge that Jesus prepares a place of rest for all those who have called on His name. Abide in His Love.

Shirley and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Chuck was such a nice and thiughtful man. My husband James and I saw him in December and had a nice talk with him. He told me about his precious grandchildren and how smart they are. I gave him a hug and told him how happy we were to see him.

It has been an honor and a privilege to have known and worked with you for all these years. We had coffee just last week as we laughed and reminisced about the old days. You never think about seeing a friend for the last time, and I just want to say that I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to have known you and to call you my friend. I send so much Love and Aloha to your family at this difficult time. I will truly miss your warm heart and sense of humor. Aloha my friend.
