A photo of us from a long time ago; Love you Cj
Chuck was my co-worker and friend. He would walk by my work station and say, chop chop, and get to work. He was a hard worker and loved to work overtime. He was always a positive person. He shared his loved for reptiles with me. That's something we had in common as my dad raised snakes when I was younger and I would go to snake shows by the airport which Chuck had done also. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Chuck he will be missed. Sending my condolences to his family . Betty Caruso
Love you Cj
