To Family of Chuck, Were out of town and found out yesterday of the passing of Chuck and want to extend our condolences to you. Will miss seeing him when we come to pick up James[my brother]. He was a long time friend of James and us.

We want to extend our sympathies on the loss of your brother, Chuck. I was surprised that he recognized me when crossed paths randomly years ago. I know he will be missed by all that knew him.

To ALL the Family of Chuck. We offer our sincere sympathy and our love at this time. We know this kind soul is with the angels. Please know you are all in our hearts and thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Much love,

Jim and Doug

Our deepest sympathy to Anne (Mom), her siblings, and the entire family. Sorry for your loss. We are praying for you and may Chuck's soul rest in eternal peace.

Anne, Janet, Dale, Laura and Clarine and families,

Our deepest sympathies to you and your families. Chuck has been our brother Paul Gauses’s roommate for many, many years and we know Paul feels like Chuck was his brother.

There has never been a time when we saw Chuck that he didn’t bring a smile to our faces, even as times were getting harder and harder for Chuck. And during these last couple years he still made us smile even if it was only to look into his sweet, sweet eyes.

We will never forget him blowing kisses, directing music while we sang at church, his whispering voice, him reminding us that his birthday was coming soon (even if it was August!), his pocket of M&Ms, or the twinkle in his eyes when you knew his was being ornery. He leaves us all with more of a skip in our step.

Thank you for sharing Chuck with us all these years; he is the gift that keeps on giving.

Our family sends our condolences. I have so many happy memories of Chuck at birthday parties and neighborhood gatherings including a memory of Laura swinging him around in circles in your yard and Chuck laughing and laughing. Good times! I also enjoyed seeing Chuck at Iowa City Public Library. Our thoughts are with you.

Anne, Laura, Janet, Clarine, and Dale-

My deepest condolences to you and your family. Chuck was one of the most amazing people I have ever known. Knowing him made me better and happier. I hope to continue his "joie de vivre" in my own life.

My heart is with yours,

Mykle

Sorry for your loss. Charles will always be a great guy. He is everyone's special guardian Angel.

Dearest Anne and the Lacina family. My heart breaks for you at this sad time. Chuck was an inspiration to me when I met him as a 5th grader visiting the family farm. Who knew 20 years later we would be blessed with a daughter with an extra-special chromosome. I know you all have special memories of Chuck and I pray they bring you comfort in the days ahead. Rest now, Chuck

Susan and Dale Lloyd

I am sorry for your loss. He was fun hanging out at special olympics

Sending my condolences and thoughts to Chuck's family, friends, and System's Unlimited staff and roommates. I work at the System's Unlimited office and pop in from time to time. I've known Chuck for years and have such fond memories of him over the years. He had so many friends and will be missed by so many. Such a special guy.
