Chuck died Friday Nov 13 from a breathing/lung problem.
It was good to know you Chuck, blue skies forever.

Sherry Cleary told me about Chuck passing during the services for Gary Douris last Saturday. It took me a time before I had any words. As I traveled back home on Monday I passed Taft. All I could do was smile and think of the times we had at Taft in the 60's and 70's.
Chuck, I will miss your bright eyes and your way of making those around you smile.

I'll be driving down Friday morning to see you off bud..

Hey, Dennis,

Thanks for the PM.

So many people so often that it's hard to find words.

But you and me and mjosparky and others were there,
and we know what the world is losing each time one of
these guys drops.

Each time one drops skydiving looses a little bit of it soul. Unsure
