Chuck was a dear soul, with a little devil in his eyes!! I remember in Lathrop, he would tease me unmercifully and then at Valley he eased off a bit. That was just Chuck!! He liked to tease, but was never mean spirited.
While planning our 45th reunion, I was so blessed one day to be able to talk and laugh with him again for over an hour....he never mentioned cancer, though a couple of weeks before the reunion he lost that battle.
May you rest in peace, my friend......I miss you!
