Oh Chuck, I just can not seem to be able to believe that you are gone. I always thought of you as invincible; that you would just always be there; that safe place in a storm; that one thing in life that was a given. You always had the most incredible heart I have ever seen, and your heart was always there to be seen; you wore it on your sleeve like a badge of honor; nothing hidden; what you see is what you get. And, with you it was just the best. Loving, caring truthfulness that never went away. It has been 37 years Chuck, can you believe it. We did so much together. As I look back, the only person in my life that I have spent more hours with than you, old friend, is Virgie. During all the time I have known you, I always admired you. I was always so proud of you. I liked to brag about you, and things you did. You were a person that just left a good impression on people, and with my bragging, on many people you never met. You only met my mother once; but for more than 25 years after meeting you, she would ask about you every time I talked to her. Chuck, you were beautiful and I will miss you dearly.
