Dad, you have been gone for a little over 4 months. Some days I feel like I can't breathe. Other days I get through without feeling like I want to fall apart. You are missed by me, Jason, Dustin and mom (Vera) so much. We love you and miss you every second of everyday. I still listen to the last two voice mails you left me so I can hear your voice. I know you raised me to be strong but it is hard. There are so many things I want to tell you, I want to hug you and hold your hand again......

I was just a young girl when I met Chuck and I remember thinking about how tall and good looking he was and he just grew more handsome with time. He was always a gentleman and I never recall a single time when he wasn't there for our family in times of heartache and pain. My heart aches for Renee because of the close bond they had as well as Jason and its sad to think that Dustin had to lose him at such a young age. The love and pride Chuck had for him showed in each and every moment they spent together. He will be missed. Peace At Last Dear Friend........Sylvia
