Tammy, I’m so sorry to be reading this. Chuck & I had so many good times with Emil & Lib. We played a lot of golf across the street from the family place in Newland, NC. My prayer is they are all together in heaven. Chuck really thought a lot about his Uncle. My heart goes out to you and the family ❤️🙏🏻😘
Love and prayers!!!
Prayers for the family l worked with him and he was the best boss l ever worked for. He will be missed and brought many years of friendship and enjoyment to myself as well as most of who worked with him.
So sorry for your loss.
