I met "Chuck" over coffee...and had coffee with him several times. I visited him at his home and at the assisted living facility where he lived. We both lived at Salmon Creek Estates and were neighbors. I'll miss not seeing him on his electic bicycle. And it was a pleasure to have coffee with him and watch him try to "navigate" the intricacies of his electronic tablet. I enjoyed knowing him and will miss him and his recollections.

I went to Washington Elementary where he was principal. I remember my mother thought he was an excellent man. I am sorry for your loss.
