    I too will raise a glass to Chuck, and another for others that passed the bar ... to Chuck, an extra ordinary man and wonderful friend to many. !!!!

      I caught his last years here, he was ALWAYS worth reading. Never even chatted with him here, but loved his attitude and sense of ironic humour. Would have loved to go for a beer with him, he was a very funny dude.

          A toast to Chuck and to his transition to the non-physical.

          This is the first lesson ye should learn: There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, it doesn't behoove any of us to speak evil of the rest of us.

              No, Vince, you didn't miss it - you are here remembering.

              My Paladin's Day mission this year was helping an entire Cub Scout pack to make their Pinewood Derby cars by hosting a workshop at the school where I teach on the weekends.

              The smiles when they see their imagined cars become reality is the reward. Many of our absent members like Chuck
              and Norm knew this.

                As I have said before, he is on a recon mission for those of us he left behind. I don't believe a day goes by where I don't think of my friend.

                  Chuck Philips was one hellava man. I post to his FB page every time the birthday announcement shows up. I'm pretty sure he hears all your comments.
