Aunt Kay, Mark, Denise and Curtis, I am so sorry for the loss of Uncle Chuck. I have very fond memories of Uncle Chuck from our trips to Iowa between our frequent re-locations from base to base. I loved his larger than life personality - always the center of attention - but always showering his love and attention on his guests. He was a wonderful man! My heart goes out to you all!!
