Chuck was a good friend of mine. He came to my deli once or twice a week .
I always enjoyed talking with him about UT sports and he was one of few I dared to discuss politics with. He always had a smile and calm demeanor .
I will miss him very much. My condolences to his wife and family.

This is one of a hundred messages my sweet Uncle Chuck taught me. You never hesitated to jump in with both feet whenever I needed you and we had so many plans, Uncle Chuck. I will miss you so very much and carry you in my heart always.
Kathy, Ben, my prayers are with you.
Uncle Chuck, I love you very much.
Your niece

Chuck is a jewel, everyone that met Chuck would not forget him. My earliest memory of Chuck was when he was helping Vernon coach the little league baseball team his brother Joe and I was playing on. Later on when he hired on at Y-12 we worked in the same building and met again. He would always talk how he would have to come to the pitchers mound and and wipe me off with a towel because of me sweating so much, and I would kid Chuck and say he was my bat boy and hand me that size 28 bat. We would talk farming and cows too. No matter if your and Chuck beliefs were different, you could always talk to Chuck. He is a good man and he will be missed. My God Bless You All.
