Chuck was a grand guy...and a great help to many, many people. He genuinely went out of his way to help others, and gave of himself so that others might become, once again, more self sufficient, under our Lord.

Chuck is missed by many...but leaves a legacy of service and helpfulness in the Memphis community and to many friends...
