Chuck was a great guy. Always greeted me with a smile and a handshake. Gonna be missed by many. I wish I could make the services but I will be out of town. Rest in heaven my friend.
I went to school and was friends with Charlie back in Bradford when we were 14. He was a good guy. RIP Charlie Travis.
