I best remember Chuck from our high school days when he often stopped by to visit and even if Diana and I weren't home he stayed and visited with my mother who loved to feed him sandwhiches! I did not reconnect with him until several years ago on FB and it was there I learned what a wonderfully successful business he had launched from scratch and an idea that America needed clean, convenient, comfortable rest stops when they travelled and he made sure we got them all across the country! I thought it was brilliant! Chuck has left behind a legacy of hard work, innovation ,publice service and dedication to his friends and family. I am very thankful to have finally seen him in person again when he came to the 55th reunion with his lovely wife. Sending my sincere best wishes to all his family and those who loved him. Priscilla
I am saddened to learn of Chuck's passing. When I was first starting out as an author (around our 40th reunion, I guess) Chuck saw me come in, got out of his chair, and gave me a big hug. "Good for you!" he said. This meant a great deal to me. Somebody had noticed! I was surprised because I didn't know him well in high school. I can only imagine that his generous and kind spirit lifted many spirits during his lifetime. He held a special place in my affections, and I always looked around for him at our reunions. I will miss seeing him at our next one. If he was this gracious and thoughtful to others, I can only imagine what a supportive and loving husband he was. Good thoughts to his family.

I remember Charles from Grove St School. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
