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 and family, my heart was saddened to learn of Chuck's passing. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers in the lonely days ahead!
So very sorry to hear about Chuck's way-too-soon passing. My deepest condolences to Janey and the family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
We have loved getting to know Chuck and Janie at the lake. He will be sorely missed. We send our prayers and sympathies to all of the family. Love, Herb and Mika
Had a great time coaching peewee basketball with him.
Janey and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Chuck was a good guy, and it was nice getting reacquainted on Facebook. God bless.
Chase,
Our deepest sympathies to you and your family for the loss of your father. We're sending our best wishes to you and the Carpenter family.
With love,
Matt and Breanne
So sorry praying for yall
Dear Jimmy,
So sorry for your loss. Kept up with Chuch on Facebook . Sending sympathy and prayers to all the family
Janey, Chase and Whitney
Sorry for your loss, Chuck was a great man friend and father. He will be missed by all.
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.

Oh Janey, I am so so sorry for the loss of your husband. My heart hurts for you & your family. Even though I had not met him, I can tell just by the comments, he was a wonderful person who was loved by so many.
Please know that I am thinking about you & will keep you in my prayers. I know you are devastated. I just wish there was something I could do for you.
May God bless you & comfort you during this time.
Sending you Love & Hugs,

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.
Chuck will always be a larger than life guy from high school days. My prayers are with his family.
Praying for the family.
I am in shock..Janey & family, Please know you are in our thoughts & prayers.
We had a great time together just a month ago in Alaska.
Jan had a wonderful time last year on the Pontoon trip down the MS River.
Ya'll were so much fun to be with. We all will miss him.
Love to you,
Dianne & Jan
