It was such a blessing to work with Chuck and the band in Nashville. Chuck was definitely a brother in music and a good friend. He was an amazing showman. Thankfully we had a reunion in September 2017 and made music and recorded again. Chuck will be deeply missed.
The Grey Seal,
This is my second attempt at this, after proof reading what I had first written through tear filled eyes, I could hear what Seal would tell me. "Dizzo, don't make this sad and somber, celebrate our time good friend, just remember what lobby this is and keep out the colorful metaphors, AAH HAA.
Let's start there, Seal had a contagious, boisterous laugh and at times in a quiet room he'd bust out a quick AHH HAA for no apparent reason, I can't mimic the sound of this laugh in type but those of you who've heard it, know it. Seal had more one liners than Dean and Jerry, that quick, witty and wild humor that just cracked me/us up. He coulda been Curly in any 3 Stooges skit. ( for the younger crowd who don't get these two references, ask your parents). Oh what I'd give t hear him say one more time, "Dizzo, did you see that, OHH MYY GODD". Classic Seal, he's too funny.
Now it wasn't always fun & games, there were times the conversation turned serious. Seal would exhale, a quick "ahem" as he cleared his throat and then it was on. He was determined in his convictions and beliefs and there was no changing his perspective, trust me I tried. Oh, and the speech, I can't add that in here but trust me, if you join our room the last thing you want to say is, "Where's my team" or the speech is on.
Seal left a legacy with us on Gears that will carry on.
I'm going to miss Seal more than most could imagine, I consider him one of my best friends and I've know him for several years.. Some may wonder how a 49 year old can play an online game for years at a time, it's not the game, it's the friendships that are forged while playing. I have only on regret in my friendship with Seal, not being able to making the Vegas trip this year. I had thought, there's next year. Well, we know how well that turned out.
Conner, Thank You so much for taking the time to let us in the Gears community know what happened to Chuck.
To his family and friends, you have my prayers and condolences.
I hope it's possible for you all to remember a special or a funny moment you shared with Chuck, and maybe there can be a quick smile or laugh amongst the tears and grieving.
Thank You all and God Bless.

Seal,
Gone far too early, you will be greatly missed. Your weapon is now the "Seal Saw". I will use it and try to make you proud, bro. Rest in Peace.
To Chuck's family, I pray for comfort and peace for you, as you all grieve this tragic loss.

We had such a great time in Vegas, you will be dearly missed
Though I haven’t spoken to Chuck in a long time- his presence on and off stage were something you don’t soon forget. One of the best eras of my adult life were spent seeing Chuck, Ronnie, Jon, Craig and Kevin perform on the regular. Whether singing an original or covering classic or current music- Chuck had a way of owning a tune and making it something bigger. It’s safe to say he outsang and outperformed a lot of versions of those songs. May the lord bless you and keep you -and my most sincere condolences to family and friends during this time of mourning. Hope you’re up there shining on the big stage now.
