My heart is filled with sadness, and at the same time with joy. Uncle Chuck always had a smile to give me, a kind word,seemed truely intrested, never self absorbed. He was an uncle and a friend. He was a true Marine - Semper Fi.

Uncle Chuck loved being a Marine and was very active with the VFW. They will miss him dearly. He always had a smile on his face and a big heart. Rest in peace. Semper Fi from one Marine to another.

Uncle Chuck,
We who new and love you will miss your smile and sense of humor.
As a veteran of the Marine Corp for many years, I know how much you loved your country as much as any military person/retiree could.
I grew up knowing you and your generous ways to friends and family alike. You would give the shirt off your back if they needed it.
Shirley and I will always remember and miss you very much, and look forward to seeing you when this world as we know it ceases to exist.
Love Always,
Russell & Shirley
