Kay and I send our deepest condolences to the family. Chuck was my friend and partner and I will miss him until we meet again. Chuck and I went to Brandybrook school together in fact Chuck lived in the house I called home for most of my life. I choose Chuck to be in the D.A.R.E program because of his compassion and gentle spirit. He was loved by all of his teachers and students because of his spirit. May he rest in God's arms. Les Vertz and family

My condolences to Chuck’s family in this time of heartbreaking loss. I knew Chuck from the time that he started working at the Sheriffs Department. Right from the start he impressed me as being very competent, and compassionate. Most of all he was a very decent and gentle man. You can be very proud to have had him in your family. RIP Deputy Elftmann. Sincerely, Inspector Gary Paluszcyk/WKSO /Ret

Had the pleasure of working with Chuck until 1989 when Alaska called my name. A very contemplative and intelligent man who was always pleasant to everyone and fun to be around. He will be missed by family and his many friends. RIP

My sincerest sympathies to Chucks family. I had the pleasure of working with Chuck. He had a very calming affect on me, soft spoken, hardly cussed, always responsive in a kind way. We laughed alot. Chuck has a relative working with TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority), he passed on to me. Every year we pass through Tenn. Near the Nick A Jack dam, I always think of Chuck. RIP my friend.

I Loved Chuck more than a Brother. I didn't cry for any of my family but when I received the message that Chuck passed on I felt a lost of more than a "Brother". So many stories to tell...We'll meet again Chaz; that's a guarantee! Save me a place in the UFO viewing area.
