I extend my sympathy to Chuck's family. I had the good fortune of knowing him as a member of the Des Plaines Elks Lodge, and working with him for the City of Des Plaines. I'm sure he will be remembered and missed by many.

My deepest sympathies to the Bolek family. Chuck and my father Ted Eugenides were great friends. Since my father`s passing 6 years ago, I have had the pleasure of reminiscing with Chuck over many dinners about their past escapades. I`m certain they are laughing about them now, together again.
