Well, Chuck, the last time we talked, in the back of my mind, I knew it was the last time.
You were the rock, and my brother-in-law for ever and your spirit will always be with me.

Chuck, you have been a part of my life for 18 years, being with My Grandmother Emma. You have been a second Grandpa to me. I will miss our conversations about motorcycles, politics, and how the west was won lol. You are definitely one of a kind. As you always said "I guarantee", we will meet again in heaven. God bless you and our families. Love always!

Chuck: Your Dad was the sort who built the West. He figured out how to survive and did it among family and friends. He truly lived life his own way. May he Rest in Peace. Steve and Deb
