So sorry to hear of Chuck’s passing. My condolences to his family and friends. I remember Chuck from growing up in Brookside. We played Babe Ruth baseball together. He was a great guy and an excellent baseball player. Hard to believe it’s been so many years since we were young and in our teens. Rest in Peace, Chuck.
