My family and I had the privledge of knowing Chuck and Skeet. Chuck was one of the most dependable and caring people I have ever known. We worked together the past 22 years. He was a dear friend and my kids and wife loved him. They don't make them like Chuck anymore. He was old school with a heart of gold. He would do anything to help. In return you couldn't help but be loyal and caring in return. I know he missed Skeet dearly these past few years and I could only imagine him having a cup of coffee with her Monday morning and laughing. We feel blessed to have known both of them.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. May God comfort you. "What a wonderful God we have- he is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy, and the one who so wonderfully comforts and strenghtens us in our hardships and trials. And why does he do this? So that when others are troubled, needing our sympathy and encouragement, we can pass on to them this same help and comfort God has given us." 2 Corinthians 1:3,4

My deepest sympathy to the Edgett family. Chuck was one of the nicest bowlers I knew. Grew up watching him bowl the classic league down at Grand Lanes. You will be missed

Chuck & Skeet were neighbors of my parents - Earl & Wilma. Skeet was a sweet lady and I enjoyed teasing Chuck. They were good neighbors and will be missed.
