    Dear Sally & Family, I was very saddened to learn about your loss. When I heard of Chuck's passing it was like a part of my home changed. He had a big heart and was always so nice, friendly and willing to help, anyone, anytime. I was always so amazed by his talents because he was so capable and could make or fix just about anything. I guess I thought if there was anything wrong he would just fix it! It willnot be the same with him not with us. I will miss him as well as I know that he will be missed by all. With deepest sympathy, Arthur, Patty and Family
