It was sad to hear of Chuck's passing. He always gave me rides in his flat fender jeep in the Avon Grove Memorial Day Parade in West Grove, PA. He was an very active and well liked member in our club - GPA(Greater Pennsylvania Area Military Vehicle Historic Society) . He was so fit I though he was 10 -15 years younger than his calendar age. I wish his family and very close friends all the best dealing with his passing. I took the attached photo of Chuck driving his jeep at the Avon Grove Memorial parade on May 26, 2018. I have many other photos of Chuck that I can email for free to family members. Send me a PM on Facebook where I am Daniel Marinacci from Weirton, West Virginia.
