I ‘ve met Chuck about 2 years ago when I visited Helena. I sat down with him to explore opening education funds for his grandchildren. It didn’t happen because he got hospitalized. He is a great grandpa!
Doris Copenhaver says
I knew Chuck from subbing at PAL
and he always had a smile and a “good morning”
He was cared for by the students and teachers and will be missed.
RIP Chuck

Chuck played softball with my dad a long long long time ago, I remember the long days and nights hanging out at the fields with his boys. Those memories will forever stick with me, he actually got to see my daughter play at those same field one year. He will be dearly missed to all of those who knew him.

Will miss seeing Chuck at the ball fields and hearing his answer whenever I asked him how it was going: “Livin the dream!”

Chuck was and is an amazing person. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be were I was today. I first met him when I went to enet and I couldn’t be more grateful for him. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be where I am today, he kept encouraging me to keep going and to not give up. I’m in pal because of him. I still remember the look of pure happiness on his face when I told him I got accepted. He was always there for me no matter what, before I met him I hated everyone of my teachers because they had never helped me. But I trusted him and saw him as family. He was the first teacher I ever saw as family. Thank you for always listening, caring, and putting on a brave face chuck. I miss you greatly. And we all love you chuck. Thank you. ❤️
