I have so many great memories of Uncle Chuck, my Godfather. I’ll always remember the family gatherings when I was a child and he would tell such funny stories and make us kids laugh. He was always so loving and kind. I can’t believe he’s gone. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.
With love from Win
