I was one of Chuck's dance buddies. He will be sorely missed.

We will miss Chuck on the dance floor. He was a great asset to the jitterbug club. He also knew many, many ballroon dance styles. He was loyal to his frends and he had many stories to tell. Chuck was always courteous and it was a great honor to know him. Sorry I couldn't be there to say "goodbye" and I will keep him and his family in my prayers.

Chuck was a gentleman first and foremost. He loved to dance, and while dancing, he always talked about his family. Will keep the family in my prayers.
