Kathy I am so sorry to hear about Chuck. He was my lead at Kantus years ago and he was one of the good ones for sure. I remember when y’all got your Jack Russel and named him Mikie or so I think that’s what y’all named him. There was a movie about a Jack Russel named Skip that he will always talked about and laughed at. He always talked about you and Mikie 🐶 he actually brought me some flowers years ago and they grew so pretty and multiplied. Unfortunately we moved and I didn’t get to bring them with me. But I used to always call them my Chuck and Kathy flowers. Again…I am so sorry to hear this. Prayers for you 🙏
