Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.”

    Awwww Chuckie….

    You were part of those sweet & fleeting childhood memories, growing up on Edna Street in Baden, that I now cherish as an adult.
    You were one of “the good guys” for sure!

    Now you & your lovely Sue are together…

    My deepest sympathy is extended to your family at this sad time.

    I remember Chuck from the scout troup at St. Aloysius in SpanishLake. He was a very honorable person. My sympathies to the family.

    My deepest sympathy to your family. Chuck was the finest individual I have ever known. He never had a disparaging word towards anyone. I will deeply miss his friendship.

    My condolences to the Behrends family. Chuck and Kathy and parents were wonderful friends to me after my father died in 1958. Chuck and Kathy lived on Edna and I lived on Howell in Baden. I will always cherish the fond memories of the family and the good times we had together. Rest in peace Chuck, and you will be in my prayers.

    Kathy, I remember Chuck from when you and I were friends at Hazelwood High. He was your very friendly and clever younger brother. He was one of the nicest guys I ever met. I am so sorry for you and your family. Mick
