So sorry to learn of Chuck’s passing. He and Linda were neighbors of mine for many years in Merriam. He was a very kind person and raised a wonderful son…Kyle. Am certain he will be missed by many.
Just learned of Chuck’s passing today, June 9, 2018. Tried to contact him last year on June 19, 50 years after we started work at Western Electric in St. Louis. MO. Chuck and I were room mates for several years until his first marriage. He was one of my good friends while he was living in St. Louis. We did many things together including putting CB radios in Lou Cooley’s race boat.
No other boat racers had radios to talk to their pit crew back then. He got is ham radio license about that time and was one of the few people that could make phone calls from his car through the ham radio station in Kirkwood, MO. I am sorry to hear of his passing.
