Chuck was a great fan of the theater. The Open Door Ensemble and its supporters will miss his humor, wisdom, and leadership. We are fortunate that his plays will live on to remind us of this wonderful passion of his and his willingness to share it with so many others.

I was blessed with 45 years of Dad's guidance, inspiration and wit. It's hard to imagine life without that supportive voice and beacon of common sense at the other end of the phone line. They don't make them like that anymore. Thanks to everyone for all the support and love from near and far.

Chuck was my former fishing partner and I will miss him. I recall our gatherings while quite young...especially listening to the Mummers Theater on Sunday evenings. He left our world too soon and I feel his loss greatly. I wanted to visit him on Thursday only to find that he left this world 30 minutes earlier. Luckily there are his wife and three children with whom I have a warm relationship. We shall try to comfort each other in the days ahead.
