Uncle Chuck will have a special place in my heart forever. We are all better people because we had the privilege to have gotten to know him. I was so lucky to have been able to call him my Uncle. Love You.
Some of my fondest memories were those spent just hanging out. Uncle Chuck would toss us kids in his boat and take us fishing, sit on the back porch or just have a good laugh. I remember visiting his shop and he treated us to SunDrop sodas. There was always a hug and a smile for us. He never seemed to have a care in the world and he let Aunt Myrna go on and on with a little smile on his face. The world was a better place because of him.
Scott and family,
We are sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers will be with your family.
God Bless you all. Mr. Chuck was such a wonderful person. He always had a smile for everyone. One of God’s very best. My prayers for God’s comfort and strength to be with you now and in the days ahead.
God bless you all. He was a joy to take care of here at PMG.
Sending my love and prayers to you all during this time. Chuck was a wonderful and funny man who was loved by so many.
Rest in peace 🙏.
Myrna and family, Roy and I are so very sorry for your loss. We first met Chuck at Park City tire! He was such a kind man. He never hurried through a job, but always took time to help! We actually got to know you and Chuck when we came to Parks City Baptist Church . You both became good friends to us. He will be missed by all. May God be with you and family.
Love,
Roy and Shirley Butler
