Glad to have gotten to know Chuck while our sons were playing baseball at CBHS. Great man and apparently a great athlete in his day. Ran into him and few times at Ole Miss football games. Prayers go out to the family.

Janey, Chase and entire family, please accept my most sincere sympathy in your loss. I met Chuck some years ago when Chase received a scholarship from Methodist Healthcare Foundation. Although I did not really "know" him, he must have been a wonderful husband and dad because I see the results of his love and guidance in Janey and the family news she often shared with us at the Foundation. Although saddened at this sudden loss, I believe you will all see Chuck again one day and what a wonderful reunion THAT WILL BE!
God Bless you all at this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear about Chuck. Besides being a "kissing" cousin (we didn't ) he drove our school bus while a senior in. High school. His parents held family reunions at their home built on the old home place.
