    I remember Chuck and his family (Bakers) from our beach vacations many years ago. Whenever we would just sit around and talk Chuck always seemed genuinely concerned about whatever it was that was on my mind. He was a good friend. RIP Chuck, you will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.

    Chuck was my roommate, coworker and friend. He loved his family and would do anything for them. He was a great conversationalist and cared about the world around him. He was always working but knew how to enjoy his travel time. He was not just a friend, he was my brother. My deepest codolences and prayers to his family. He is truly missed.
