Dolores, Nadine, Chuck, Brian and your families, we are truly sorry over the loss of Chuck Sr. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to you now and always. Our family has such warm memories of him, especially myself. Always seeing him with your mom and the last few years driving her to my mom's house to get her hair done. As a kid he would always ask how I was doing and was so very nice to always take the time to talk. He was known as "Cookie Grandpa" by my kids and we will pray for him... God Bless you all.
