Chuckie was a full figure of a man. He loved his world and everyone in it. When he closed his eyes on this earth November 17, 2020, he opened them in the heaven he believed in. Heaven was his gift for living. He was greeted by his son, our parents, and the multitude of generations that came before him. He is no longer with us, but he will always be in our memories.
