“Chuck and I would speak briefly every morning we would see each other on the Derby Greenway. Chuck would purchase big bags of bird seed to feed birds all year long even though it was expensive. He would take amazing photos of the wildlife and post them to be enjoyed by many on nextdoor. We last spoke on Thur 4/6 about how excited we were that Spring was here. I will miss him. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace in Gods memory until he is resurrected in Paradise. Psalm 37:10,11. John 5:28 &29. Here is one of his 1st photos he shared with us.”
