First I'd like to express my deepest sympathy on the passing of Chuck, who I'm sure was a great husband, father and grandfather. While Chuck and I were not close friends I've known him for 50 years. I met Chuck on Monday Oct. 28, 1968. Why do I remember that date? That was the day I started at Bell. The first part of that morning our Foreman had me doing all the paperwork a new employee had to complete and then drove me out to where Chuck was working. Chuck was assigned to assist in my training. I rode on and off with Chuck many days over the next few weeks, learning the ropes. Chuck was easy to talk with, always had a great laugh and no matter how slow I was, Chuck had lots of patience with me. Chuck and I only worked together for about the first 4 years and then our careers took separate paths. However, we did meet up at different meetings from time to time over the next few decades. If someone were to ask me who were the top three people who influence my life at Bell, Chuck's name would be one of those people. To his family all I can say is time will heal today's sorrow, but your memories of a remarkable person will never fade. God Bless you all.
