    When if became apparent for companies to become “politically correct”, Wilder Construction hired its first HR Manager. Kelcie was put to the task of introducing sexual harassment to the staff and to the “good ole boys”. Well, Chuck was a challenge for in his book, there was no way he was going to give up extending those “bear hugs” to the office personnel which we so dearly received. Dear Chuck, rest in peace. And, Susie & families, blessings to you all.

  • Alice Sitton

  • Renee Warrick

    As a regular substitute teacher to the arthritis class at RHC I had the pleasure of getting to know Chuck. There can’t be enough said about Chuck, his joyful nature, ever present smile and sharp wit. Tiny Bubbles just won’t be the same without you, Chuck, although we will sing it with a smile for the fond memories it provides us of you.

  • Jeanette Lundberg

    Chuck, I always enjoyed your determination & happy, sharing spirit in the water exercise class. Happy landing!
    Sue, & family — thank you for sharing good memories of a fine, down-to-earth man. Our sympathy is with you.

    Dear Wolfe Family,
    I am sorry for your loss. He was a very special friend to me, and all in our
    swim group. He had special parts in two different songs that we sang and exercised to. Now, he has his guitar and is singing from up above.
    Everyone will always remember the Frogmire, that he cooked for our swim group. It was definitely a family affair, and what a lovely family.
    My prayers are with all of you. He will be missed.

    As classmates in the RSHC trice a week arthritis water exercise group we came to appreciate Chuck’s abiding good nature, intense interest in sports and enjoyment of hearty singing. To know him was to like him, and we were certainly no exception to the rule. Happy trails to you, Chuck, until we meet again.
