Chuck is gone from our sight but never from our memories or our hearts. He shall be greatly missed. I know he is watching down on you all from Heaven and I'm sure my dad was there to greet him at the gates:) They are both at peace and we will be reunited with them again one day. My God keep you strong and hold you close during this difficult time. Sharing in your sorrow, thinking of you all and sending our deepest sympathy
