Chuck was a good friend when we were growing up. He had his hands full being the oldest of the kids in his family. He was a good gentle guy. My condolences to the entire Rice family

We are sorry to hear of Chuck's passing, he was a really good guy. He taught me how to mix bread at the Farm many years ago. He was a hard worker every where he went. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
