I am in shock. Chuck and I Had just finished making plans to tour Ecuador next summer. I literally cannot believe this.
Chuck, you were one of the kindest and most open-minded people I ever knew. You never put anyone down and always had kind words for everyone. High school was a very difficult time for me, but your presence in my life made it much, much easier. In losing you, we have all lost a wonderful part of our lives. You were will remain my hero for the rest of my life. I love you.

I am in total shock. I really loved buth Gail and Chuck. I was especially proud of Chuck serving in Viet Nam and when wounded in Viet Nam, he used it as an inspiration to make better of himself when he became a lawyer. I cannot tell you how upset I am. Chuck was a real man and his sister was great person and real woman. Marie attended Gail's funderal and told me some of the stories that Chuck told on Gail. I will let her chip in on her own, but they are great stories.
I am just feeling very very hurt.
Life is not fair, but this to me really hurts. Than you Anne Ballanytne for having the last reunion, when I last saw Chuck. Thank you so much for your dedication to our 1969 family, as well as, Gill and Randy for keeping the website up.
I really do care care and love each of you. Please be safe.

Please forgive all my misspellings in my note about Chuck and Gail. I am just very devasted and I guess my desire to share my grief translated into bad spellings. The good is that I had a wonderful conversation with Randy Lockwood. We are so far in front of the other classes because of his and Gil's and Anne's efforts.

So very sorry to hear about Chuck. Gail and I were good friends in grade school, I spent many a weekened at their home and even as kids Chuck was fun and very nice. So, it was no surprise when I saw him at the 30th reunion and he was still very nice. We talked and emailed each other for awhile after that. Was so great we had that 45th Reuinion last month and I was able to see and talk to him.
Condolences to his family and R.I.P. Chuck
