Chuck was happiest when spending time at our house in VT. He liked just puttering around the yard and the peace and tranquility he felt when relaxing on the deck. He loved his family dearly and often said how blessed he was to have many loyal and close friends. He had many a good times with all of you and Chuck was always up for good times!
