I miss his contagious smile and his boundless energy. Through his leadership in sports he touched so many lives.

Vera and Family, It was a joy to work with Chuck at the Manor. He helped me lead exercise, we worked puzzles together and he enjoyed the trivia and other games. I will miss him and I am sorry for your loss.

I will miss uncle Chuck, I have fond meomories of him. He was a curious person.
He never seemed to age, he had a lot of energy. He had a good sense of humor.
He didn't belong with all of those old people at the nursing home.I think he will be playing volleyball in heaven, and jumping off of the diving board in the pool once again.Happy fathers day Uncle Chuck
