All Condolences -

Christine and I were devastated to read of Chucks death. From 2009 until his last illness he came to our barn to care for his horses. He was extraordinarily helpful in maintaining our property. He had an amazing work ethic and loyalty to his horses, especially candy. But much more than that he was a good friend who visited us frequently where we loved to talk. Christine and I miss his friendship terribly. May God reunite you with Grace, Chuck. The consummate good man.
— Patrick Geary

So sorry for your loss. Such a nice gentleman.
— Cheryl, Andy and Haley Smith

Chuck taught me a lot in the 5/6 years that we grew pretty close I will not forget. RIP Chuck.
