I'm not very active on this forum, but wanted to say my thoughts are with your family. I can't imagine how you feel right now.
I don't even know how to say this, by my beautiful husband passed away at 12:41 this afternoon. Thanks to all of you for everything - I am beyond devestated and can't even see while I'm typing - have to go the funeral home and make arrangements tomorrow and need to be with our kids right now, I'll check back and here and there.
He loved this place very much.

What do I say, I can't even express what I am feeling now? I just got the news a couple hours ago, I did not even know he was sick, and now he has passed. What a huge loss to all of the world, Chuck was a one of a kind. I wish I had a dollar for every time he made me laugh. I knew Chuck, I knew him pretty well, I met him a few years ago on R.A. forums, long gone now. But he was really something in the good old days, Fauna calmed him some, but he still could not keep from busting loose and getting banned for his humor at times (many times).
Many here knew him as a sly dog that would spank you good if he caught you in a lie, or scammed our hobby. But Chuck was much more if you really knew him. He had a heart of gold, yes, I said our Chuck has a very big heart. Many of you did not know how the real Chuck was. Here he had a front, as many of us do, but in the real world he was very real. He would help anyone that was doing right if they just asked him. Here he seemed cold at times, but it was a front. Don't get me wrong, Chuck hated a real scammer, but most often his puns were just good (clean (lol) aggravation and fun.
I have not been here in a pretty long time, I put most of the needed drama behind me. I am sorry I have not been in touch with Chuck, I have not talked to him since before he left PA, I have his old number some where, but I heard from someone he moved to Florida. Anyway I want to say I am sorry Chuck for loosing touch with you bro. I miss you man and wish we could have met before you were called home. I know there is hockey in heaven, it would not be too much fun without it. The good lord probably set up a team just for you my friend. Remember all of us still in the struggle of life, we will all be together very soon, hope to meet up with you there and talk about the good times bro. When I think of you now it makes me sad, but it is strange, all of the times before made me smile.
Maggie, I am so sorry for your loss, Chuck was an awesome man, and I was one of the ones that really knew it. Chuck talked about you and his children, you were his life for sure. I never talked with him that he did not speak of his family. I must tell you that we all lost a bunch by Chuck passing, but you and your children lost the most. I wish there was a way to give him back to you, I would do it in a heartbeat. But it seems god wanted him more, he is now up there looking down at us, and I can feel him wanting us to do the best we can, until we all make it there with him. I know he will make God smile with his humor, like only Chuck could do. Keep your chin up, and be strong for the little ones, I know that is what Chuck would have wanted. Once again, I am so sorry, I will truly miss you bro.
P.S. sorry for the long post, and I only have one other thing to say to Chuck, they can't ban you no more bro!! And shame on the one that told me to UN-friend you, it is clear they never knew you at all.
