I knew Chuck from Oakbrook Swim and Tennis Club where his daughter, Anne, was my swim teacher. Later he worked as a courier for my mom which was a perfect job for him because he loved visiting with people. He loved the Seahawks and went to their spring training. He also became friends with any animal that was around. He was a great friend to my Westie, Kelty, who was our office dog. He always played with her. He became almost like a kid! I remember one time he pretended to lick Kelty’s plush lollipop dog toy, saying, “Look what I got! Mmm,” teasing Kelty and then he realized what he was doing and said, “What can I say? I love dogs!” He loved kids and cats too. He was always ready for a chat with a smile on his face.
