Chuck, when i first come into the Richards family, you welcomef me and extended your friendship above and beyond. You were one of the best men ive known. I not only was blessed to have you as a family member, but as a friend. There was nothing that i couldnt discuss with you. im not sure that you knew how much that meant to me, and for that I'm truely sorry. You were such a blessing to this world and not your a blessing in Heaven. What a great man to have known!

Chuck used to help me stay awake while we were both working the night shift at JJ's Truck Stop. After it got robbed at gun point Chuck was always on standby to make sure that NEVER happened again!
Thanks for being my friend Chuck. Rest in God's hands.

I knew Chuck for many years. He worked with my husband, Jim Sheridan (who passed away in 1985) at the Saline County Sheriff's Office. That was such a good group during those years and they loved their job. May you rest in peace now with no more pain and suffering. Thoughts and pryaers are with the family during this difficult time.

Chuck was my father-in-law for a time period and in that time I learned so much from him! I still cook the sweet/white fried taters the way he showed me and it's the only way to eat them! I have through out the years always thought of the extended family in Traskwood especially in November cause of deer camp!
He will be missed and I will always have my memories and stories of that time when things were good!!
Prayers for all family members!

Chuck was like a dad to me. His daughter NIchole is my best friend. He has been in my life for over 20 years. He was always full of jokes and excitement. Of course he treated me just like his own. Nichole and I had so many good times with him. He was a wonderful man, no more suffering, pain, just up in Heaven now watching over us and doing what he has always done best: Protecting those of whom he loves. RIP Dad. I love you so much. Keep mom happy up there too.
