RIP Chuckie. I can still see your smile and hear your laugh. I remember stopping at Waterland on my way to beach with friends. You said...my little cousin ...going to the beach with her friends over and over. Saw many firework shows you and Danny set off back in the day off the pier in South Haven beach. Fond memories. See you someday again my Cousin!! Love you ❤

So sorry to hear of Chucks passing, he's shining vehicles in heaven now. He was the only guy that could detail a truck for me and I didn't have to touch it up when I got it home. RIP Big Chuck

The memories of our friendship from early adulthood always bring a smile to my face. Remember fondly the days of detailing cars at the shop. "You polish glass, you don't clean it." If memory serves me right I learned this from Chuck. Many fun times together. Condolences to Cheri, Darren, Kevin, Renee and Grace Magnolia whom I'm sure he adored. RIP Chuck

My heart goes out to you Cheri, and loved ones. I just now learned of Chuck’s passing from my brother Jim. Immediately, we started rattling off great stories of Chuck, as we all were in high school together, and beyond. Chucky was TRULY one of a kind. He was always upbeat, positive and walked to his own beat, and destiny. He loved cars !! His best decision by far was to sweet talk Cheri into marriage ! Great guy...I can see him smiling in heaven !

Cheri- So sorry to hear of Chucks' passing. He was truly one-of-a-kind! His sense of humor, story telling, and jokes cannot be matched. I can still picture him driving that blue 1976 Olds Cutlass with the T-tops out, smiling all the way! He will truly be missed.
