I remember when I first started racing Chuck helped me out a lot with advice and parts and I only met him at the track the weekend before. Great guy, he will be missed.

We had no idea that Chuck was ill or anything. I'm blown away. Chuck and I started racing in GLRRA against each other. He was tough on the track but a good guy in the pits. When Elaine was there we always caught up with her and Chuck. They were fixtures in GLRRA. Chuck got faster when John came along and we saw the 3 of them everywhere. What a fantastic family and really nice people. I'm so sorry for Elaine and John. Peace be with you always. Chuck will always be in my memories as a racer and a competitor.
