The first time I remember seeing Chuck he was performing a ballet routine and I thought to myself, this guy is hot! I enjoyed his flying and soon got to know him, he was a very nice and funny man with many skills. A few years ago a bunch of us went out for dinner in Newport R.I. while attending the competition there. Chuck had an array of sound effects he could do with his mouth and was cracking everyone up with every step we took. When we finally decided on a restaurant, I believe we were all about in tears from laughter, I know I was. When the waiteress spilled a beer on Chuck, he stood up and yelled "Happy New year" Everyone lost it! If any one else would have done that, we would have thought they were insane, even the other customers in the bar laughed at Chuck's reaction to the spilled beer.. I think it was because of his honesty and delivery of anything he said or did that made people react to him the way they did. I will miss him and I pray for Lisa and her child. This is truely a sad day. Dodd = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
