Rest in peace Chuck. It was an honor to know and share time with you.

Our neighbor growing up on Everett Rd was a kind gentleman who always had a clever and humorous story to tell. There are many good memories from those days. It was a good life then and Charles and family were a pleasant part of that experience.
Rest in Peace Charles and deepest sympathy to all of the family.
