I grew up with Chuckie and have a lot of memories of his high energy and devilish pranks. I have not seen him in more than 30 years but the last time I did he was hitchhiking in S. Heights and I picked him up – we had a great conversation. RIP, I am sure your mom and grandparents are welcoming you home.
You were in the store just a couple of weeks ago. I do not believe you won’t be stopping to get “stuff” for your next job. Hardly a day went by that I didn’t see your truck going to or parked at a job site. The work you preformed for me was top notch. I remember the day you played my electric guitar….like a pro!! Sue and I were in awh; we both wished we could play half as good. Our deepest sympathy to your family and friends. May God bless and keep you. You will be missed.
Chuckie did extensive work in our home through the years. I grew up with his mother, Nancy and I knew the love and hopes she had for her only son. Chuckie never looked for a free handout; he showed up for work everyday, and began with a prayer for guidance and prosperity. He was pure in spirit and love for God. RIP dear Chuckie. We loved you.

My condolences go out to your family. It has to be very hard to lose a child. Although we haven’t kept in close touch as a family you are still in my thoughts and prayers. Family ties and remembrances never go away. So sorry I won’t be able to be there but will be with you in prayer.
I also grew up with Chucky, known him my whole life. RIP Chucky.
