My heart is broken and sad, that I didn't get to say goodbye to my Uncle Chuck. My favotire memory of him is when he bought his first new car, an Olds 442. He took me and grandma to Kalamazoo to see great grandpa, he wouldn't let me eat my sucker in his new car, and he was the one that bought the sucker! I love you, Uncle Chuck, and will miss your birthday calls. Love Cynthia, your favorite niece!

To the Runions Family: Chuck and I worked together many years ago in the steel industry. Even though we lost touch over the years he and I shared many adventures as friends and coworkers. I have many fond memories and will never forget the good times we had and his complete devotion to his loving wife and family. I share in your grief but celebrate his life.
