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

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.

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.
