We met Chuck and Andy on their daily walks by our house. We had wonderful and insightful conversations on all kinds of subjects, especially anything car related. One day Chuck even helped my husband with a problem we were having with his truck. What a great guy. We have lived here for 30 years and only recently got to know Chuck and Andy, but felt like we had been friends forever. Those that have known Chuck for a long time we're certainly blessed to have that time together. To the family , we are sorry for your loss , because it will feel like a big hole in your heart. Remember to keep him alive in your memories that you carry close to your heart.
