    My Brother Chuck was always there when a friend needed help. He cared about his family and his friends too. He was always willing to help out whenever he could and with whatever he had. He had many, many friends who thought the world of him.
    He told me once ” for him his life had been good and it had for the most part been fun. And that he had no regrets.”
    Not many people can say that.
    He will be missed by a large number of people,ie. family and friends.

    I thought of Chuck as a good friend until he took my mother’s house right out from under us three kids. I lost all respect for him at that point. My mother, Carol was very good to him and opened her heart and home to him and his family and this is what she got in the end. I only wish his family would do better than he did in the end.
    May GOD forgive him for all the hurt he left behind with his greediness and womanizing.
