CHARLIE WAS A GOOD FRIEND WHOM I KNEW FROM GABBY HARNETTS SPORT SHOP. HE WAS AT ALL TIMES CHEERFUL, FUNNY AND HELPFUL. HIS PRESENCE WILL BE MISSED, BUT HIS MEMORY WILL ENDURE.
MAY HIS FAMILY HAVE THE STRENGTH THAT IS NOW NEEDED.

Chuck was a mentor and motivator to those of us who do more virtual fly fishing and fly tying than on the waters. He will be missed not only by his family, but also his extended family of Chicago Fly Fishers.

Chuck was a mentor and motivator to anyone who had an interest in fly fishing and the art of tying fly's.
He leaves a void in his family and in the extended family of Chicago Fly Fishers and those of us for whom he facilitated a gathering place and talented instructors. His family and the world of fly fishers will miss him greatly.
