Prayers for comfort and peace go to Chuck’s wife and family. He had been a dear friend of mine since the 80’s when we bowled on a team together. Even as health problems began rearing their ugly heads, Chuck always had a smile on his face and something funny to say. I can’t wait to see him again in heaven with no more illness or pain. Rest in peace my friend.
