I have been gone all October and most of November and just received the magazine to sadly hear of Chuck's passing. He was a friend and mentor to me the 14 years I've been in the club. He lived pretty close to me and we did a fair amount of business with coins the last few years. I respected Chuck as well as trusted him both as a chip and coin dealer. He was a man of integrity,and I would have no problem having him walk out of my house with 20k + in coins on a handshake. Most important, he was a friend that will be missed. I know he will be missed in the chip hobby. My prayers go out to his family.
