"A great fisherman, card player, a B-17 fighter pilot and a true gentleman."
So sorry for the loss. Didn't know him but sounds like he was a helluva guy. I have an old fishing buddy of mine, kind of like a grandfather, who was a tail gunner on the B-17s. Lots of stuff those guys went through, and they never even complained.
My deepest condolences to you, and his friends and family.

Mike/Robert,
He always had great things to say about you and your dad.
When he had doubts about going, I always told him
"get your stuff and get on the boat"

Sorry
Sorry for your loss. My great Uncle who started me fishing was a bombardier on a B-17 and a prisoner of war for 3 years. Sorry for the loss of your fishing buddy!
Give a man a fish he will eat for the day, Teach a BOY to fish he will steal your spots.......

Bless you sir!
The brooklyn VI was the first charter I ever fished a couple of years ago. My son and I caught our first salt water fish with Chuck and he got my boy over his sea sickness after his first hour on the boat. He made his first trip one he and I will never forget.
RIP Chuck
Joe

Met Chuck on the BrooklynVI he was a true gentleman. Always had some great stories to tell you. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.
There are 4 seasons to the year and you can fish in all of them. The season never ends...

sorry for you loss
He sounds like a great guy. When I first started fishing, those old salts always had great stories, taught with sterness/patience and were great mentors. My mentor was in the navy in WWII and was fascinated by his stories.
May they all rest in peace !
god bless
Tight lines!

Gone-Not Forgotten
Didn't know Chuck personally, but remember him from around the Piers when I fished the bay..used to 'kibitz' with Mike Scarpatti, Al Coley and Butchie from the old Zephyr..
Impressive that the NY Times wrote about him:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/24/nyregion/24boat.html?_r=1&ref=nyregion
I believe in Schneider's Law...it's simpler than Murphy's Law. Schneider thought that Murphy was an OPTIMIST!
