Joan: I am so sorry to learn that Chuck had passed away. I remember how much my father thought of him in his electrical work and how much I enjoyed being down the street neighbors and fellow teachers. My thoughts and prayers are with you.##imported-begin##Jeff Purcell##imported-end##

I feel lucky to have known Chuck. He gave me the confidence and knowledge needed to take my first solo flight. He was a great man and will always have a place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time.##imported-begin##Kimberly Barclay Martin##imported-end##
