I was fortunate to share some great times and music with Chuck during our formative years. Also had the pleasure of golfing with him several times. What a generous and fun-loving person he was. Deepest sympathy to Maureen and the entire family.

I was so heart-broken to hear of Chuck's passing. I can remember all the fun times hanging out with the Kidd family, going to the water-park by their house, Danny and Timmy torturing me and Chuck and my dad yelling at them to stop, camping, going to the mudd-drag races, and just always having a great time! I have so many fond memories of Chuck, as do so many others. Chuck will be missed by all those who knew and loved him, especiallly his family. Rest in Peace Chuck. We love you!

Sending prayers to the family of my friend known to me as "Chuckie"!
I worked with Chuckie for about seven years and shared many laughs with him. I didn't golf but he lived to golf and never stopped talking about it.
It's never easy when our loved ones leave us but know that he was a very dedicated family man.I havent worked with Chuck for about 13 yrs but would see him often and it was a pleasure always.
Chuckie, its time for that hole in one with God.
Pease to you my friend and to your family.

You will always be in our lives, our thoughts and prayers, until we meet again dearest friend you will be missed and our hearts are heavy with saddness. Remembering the great times will always bring a smile.
Miss and love you,
Tom and Pam (Nelson) Campbell

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in this time of sadness. I have known Chuck a long time and will cherish the memories and times shared including our wonderful weekend in Mexico MO together. Hannah still talks about Chuck teaching her bumper cars with golf carts. He will be missed.
