I have had many jobs in my life, and many bosses. But I have to say this man was one of the best. He was open, kind, and always listened. I am going to miss sending him (Cookie Monster) cookies every Xmas and talking football. Chuck, thank you for letting me be a part of your life and you will definitely be missed but NEVER forgotten!

Sad to hear the news about Chuck. I had the pleasure of meeting and working with both him and his wife Linda when they hired the company I work for to help them downsize and move. Chuck had a gregarious personality that was very matter of fact, and welcoming. He had an ease to him that made you feel comfortable in his presence. I had the fortune of being told a story about a very special piggy bank 🐖, and sadness that came with the loss of it. I hope he had had been able to start a new piggy bank and use its proceeds for something even more special than originally intended. I am saddened to hear of the loss of such a remarkable person. I only had the pleasure of knowing him for a very short period of time, but in that time I felt like I had known him for longer. My heart goes out to his wife Linda and their family. I cannot begin to describe the pain I feel for them in my heart.

Chuck’s Family were our neighbors on Highland Ave in Port Washington, New York. We played until dark and rode bikes everywhere. We reconnected through a mutual friend and classmate at Schreiber High School and shared many memories during this past year. I will miss reminiscing with him, he was a wonderful person.

Bob and Joan Ferris -- Linda and family: Our sincere condolences to you on Chuck's passing. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. A true friend and associate. Always considerate, trusting and loyal. I've worked with quite a number of clients during my career, and I must say that Chuck was among the best.
