Thoughts and prayers for Chuck’s Family and friends 🙏. He will be missed by many. I’ve known Chuck since 1976 at SGHS. I enjoyed his company and his upbeat personality.
I am sorry for your loss. I was a cheerleader when Chuck played football at SGHS. We had some great times during high school. I re-acquainted with Chuck many years after high school. His demeaner had never changed. He was a gentleman and would give the shirt off his back to help someone. He will be missed. I will keep you (the family & Debbie) in my prayers.
