It is comforting to know he has family and friends surrounding him, and that he is in so many peoples thoughts and prayers. That is one's true legacy and evidence of their footprints on this planet.

+1. I hate opening/ reading these threads. It never gets easy and for all of us who grew up without the internet and virtual friendships its a fairly new thing to have to experience, so many good people that otherwise you would not know going through life's hard times. Before you were limited to your friends and family, now your circle of people you know is expotentially larger and you get confronted with that too often...
You made me think of Ray (Calvo)...
Here was this guy who I had never met, didn't have any close relationship etc. only had talked with him on-line about various Porsche stuff (not to mention when he schooled my cheapskate *** over something! And don't laugh, those who were on Rennlist that early, pretty much everyone of us were put in to our place by him!) and when I heard about him passing and the days, weeks and months later, every now and then when I'd click on Rennlist, I noticed that i missed him.
Hell, don't know how long ago it happened, it's many years by now but now writing this, made me miss his crusty character again.
I think for guys like Ray, who are real good people and many people get to realize it through on-line, if there's something good about our internet age, is that even when they're gone, they really aren't because there are so many people who remember, read and talk about them on-line.
All the best Chuck, thinking of you.

So sorry to hear this news. It was an honor to have met Chuck on several occasions. I will always remember his great smile and gentle spirit. RIP Chuck.
