Our entire family sends our condolences to your whole family. Chuck was a special person and will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Both Chuck and Irene were two of the best neighbors that we could ask for. I always knew when our boys were young kids that if we weren't home, they could turn to Chuck and Irene if they needed something. We will cherish all our fond memories . Our thoughts and prayers go to your entire family.
Love,
Ron, Bonnie, Brian, Jeff and Craig Bittner
