Our deepest sympathy to your family. We haven't had any contact since the Call met City Apartment days, and Mom moving to East Dundee. Chuck and I used to run into each other when Aunt Pearl and Mom lived next door to each other. Always a gentleman. Admired his successful career. Miss the old days when the family was all in one neighborhood. God Bless you all.

My cousin, Chuck, a wonderful boyhood friend. Our paths parted after we graduated from college, but when we got together whenever I visiited Chicago, it was always as though I had never left. You will be missed by me - and all who knew him. Love to his family, Gene Foley

Our deepest condolences to the Sigrist family. We were so very fortunate to work for such a great leader. He was the kindest, most generous man. We are grateful for the many years that Charlie was here to support and guide us. He knew how much sports played a role in Pittsburgh and was always happy for us when our teams did well. After a championship win one of the first calls or emails we would get was from Charlie asking if we were going to the championship parade! Charlie will truly be missed and we will continue to honor his legacy in our office.
