Got to know Chuck through love of cars, wonderful person and friend. Will surely be missed by all that knew him. My heart goes out to his family at this sad time-call me if you need me.

I went to the Apprentice School with Chuck. He was a good guy and later I saw him at Casey's; he hadn't changed, still loved cars like me. I am so sorry for his family.

I had the great honor of knowing Chuck for more then 40 years and working with him most of that time. There was never a day that Chuck didn't make me laugh. I have never met anyone like Chuck and don't think now I know I never will. He will be missed by all that knew and loved him. I could go on for hours with all the good times we had but not now. May he rest in peace. I will think of him often.

To Mrs. Jones: We were so very sorry to hear Mr. Chuck has left us. I just wish I had known him longer. I really thought the world of him; he was so good to me and helped me a lot with my truck. I know he will be missed by so many. He was a wonderful man. Please let me know if I can do anything. Prayers are with you! GOD SPEED, MR. CHUCK!
