I have tried to find Chuck over the years. Broken hearted to find out that he is no longer here. We were stationed together for 2 years at NAS Sigonella Sicily. What's crazy is that was almost 40 freaking years ago and I was always hoping we could reconnect. Hands down one of the funniest human beings I have ever met. If there are any family or friends that would like to get in touch please go for it. I remember him screaming at the top of his lungs " I wanna Rock ". Or my penis hurts and I can't breathe. Damn, I'm bummed ?
I served with Chuck in Sicily where he was like my brother. Then he was my sponsor when I arrived in Iceland. I loved Chuck. He was a comedian. Always wanted to have fun and made work fun. Sure wish I could have found him before he left. Rip buddy! Fair winds and following seas!

We had a very special bond that will be cherished forever. It's hard to know that we can't talk anymore here, but I know you are always listening to me and making me laugh. Love you so very much! oxoxox
I am so sorry to hear of Chuck’s passing. He was always so kind to me on dispatch. My prayers are with his family and friends.
