He leaves behind his children David Carlton and his wife Patricia, George Carlton, Judie Ford and her husband Jerry, grandchildren Jason, Jeremy, Andrew, Mary, Paul and Allen.

frind,a buddy and more for life to us. No one will ever

had thank Chuck.

Dear Olive, Pat and I have many fond credit union related memories of Chuck. The Metro Credit Union was an important part of his life and I feel priviledged to have been on the Board with Chuck. He brought a lot to that group. After he finished that phase of his life, he was missed. Now that he has completed his greatest adventure on this earth, he is missed again. We have fond wishes for you and your family. – Bob and Pat Simpson

It was a joy, Chuck. I’ll never forget seeing you ride your scooter down with Molly in the basket. That always made my day. You always had something nice to say and a ready smile. You are sorely missed by all at Evergreen Lodge.

To Chuck’s Family-
You are in my prayers, may God be there as you heal, forgetting the pain and remembering the fond memories.
