Helen and family My deep condolences on Chuck's passing. He was such a help and advisor to me during my years at the bank. Not only was Chuck a really special and loving person, but a truly accomplished banker as well. Chuck could walk through the bank during business hours and know just with that walk through what was happening and which of our bankers might need a little word of encouragement or help during a hectic day. Sometimes, that banker happened to be me. Chuck, thanks for everything you gave us. John Mack
