Sorry to hear of Chuck’s passing. Chuck played high school football 10-years before we. He was a High School Rockies Football hero, and living legend to our PHS teams in the 1960 to ’62 era. He was always very modest when we would talk to him about his football days. Now that he has made the final play, may he rest in peace in the light of Christ. My prayers are with all of Chuck’s friends and family.
Stephen Vancza says
