Chuck was a great person with a big heart and he was a great friend always willing to help everyone in need he will be greatly missed by all RIP my friend
Dear family, I know it is a difficult time you all are going through now. Just want you to know that each of you have been in my thoughts and prayers and I will continue to pray for you. Chuck had so many friends and those who loved him very much. He had a gentle spirit that could be so lifting to others if they were having a difficult day. Especially, when it came to working with the animals at the shelter. That is where I met him and I will never forget that first day or the many times later when I witnessed his compassion and caring way. Chuck was a treasure to behold by so many. I will miss him greatly but I know he is rejoicing in Heaven and still meeting all those who he touched their lives in the past. I am sure more than he could have possibly imagined. I will see you again one day Chuck and then it will be forever. I will miss the happiness you shared when you worked so hard to help others. Also, the happiness you had when you were Santa's helper passing out the Good Fellow papers. Always remember how special he was and how much he has been loved by so many. Take care family = Matthew 5:4 - Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Well good buddy, this is definitely not goodbye. You have already visited me at my bird feeder taking on the image of a beautiful cardinal the other day to let me know all is better than ever for you. So even though you will be truly missed by all left behind in this cruel world, I know we will meet again at Rainbow Bridge where you will be escorted by your entourage of all those animals whose lives you touched! No, it is not goodbye at all, it is merely see you when I see you! Looking forward to that glorious day, Chuck!

I always love talking to you when we worked at Riverside. You were always so helpful and full of laughs. I’m so sorry you were sick . you were taken at much too young of an age God has a place for special angels. May your family be blessed with loving memories to cherish.
