Chuck, you were a wonderful friend and will truly be missed! We met at the Alive After 5 Art Stoll in Sanford, Florida about 10 years ago and did many art shows together. You made me laugh with your wonderful sense of humor and were so kind and generous. You had a wonderful talent with carving your beautiful creations and I am so blessed to have some of these. I enjoyed our talks about the Lord and know I will see you again! Your friend, Brenda
I just found out of the passing of my dear friend Chuck. I meet him through the Farmers Market in Leesburg where I was the manager. I always looked forward to seeing Chuck and over the years although both of us had gone our separate ways we remained in contact and met for lunch and breakfast at times. I enjoyed our talks and know how much the passing of his daughter hurt him. I will miss him. I treasure the wooden spoons I have that he made and the Santa he carved they will forever be a part of my collection and remind me of him. I am so sorry for the loss of all of those who's lives he touched. He was a generous man. I think of him often. May he Rest in Peace.
Chuck has been a family friend for decades. The first time I met this red-haired gentleman he was driving a red corvette with a winning smile. Pretty impressive, I must say. A little later, my brothers and sisters were helping mom with a garage sale and then she had to go to her job. We were hungry and decided to order pizza with some of the sale money. He chuckled at the thought and said he may have to let our mom know about this. Then we all had a good laugh! He brought spark to our lives, he was kind to our mom, taking her on camping trips and visiting the upper peninsula. Chuck and my mom had a very long friendship. He enjoyed watching us siblings interact with each other and the resultant smile it brought to our mom, which of course made Chuck smile as well. Chuck was always willing to lend a hand, to help where he could, and shared his generosity with us. His talent was beautiful hand carvings….wooden utensils and Santa’s. He was kind to my Sweetheart, having long interesting conversations. May peace be with you Chuck and your family at this time of emotions and transition. Thank you for gracing our lives. You will be forever in our hearts. - Sylvia Light and Don Bowman
Chuck was a good friend to our family for many years. We admired his strength, integrity and sense of adventure. He was generous with his time, talents and good humor. We always looked forward to his trips back to Michigan. We will miss talking and laughing with him. We were always grateful to receive his thoughtful gifts—his beautiful bamboo chimes and hand-carved wooden spoons, his home-grown oranges, home-made fudge and camp-made thimbleberry jam. We were fortunate to have known him. – Roger and Carla Bloom
You will be greatly missed by me. I knew you for over thirty years. We both enjoyed travel and nature and had a lot of good times together. I cherish the carvings you made for me and they will always remind me of your talents.
