Mary Ellen and family, I worked with Chuck at Macy's. He was always made me laugh and was also thoughtful, kind, caring, honest and hard working. My husband enjoyed his many conversations with him about karate and even took some classes. He taught me to enjoy the simple things in life, like sitting outside in the morning with a cup of coffee to just reflect on the day and life in general and to pray. Thinking of him always makes me smile. With sympathy, Kathy Orrico
