Chuck was a great friend and golf buddy I will miss him.We taught driver education together at Fenger High school and had many laughs and experiences. Any students who came in contact with Chuck will never forget him and his unique humor. He taught me a great deal about life. My wife and I send our deepest sympathy to his family.
