The world lost an amazing man and we all lost a great friend. We were lucky to have known him and he brought a smile to all our faces with many stories. My dad always told us about their daily phone calls and funny jokes. Mrs. D'Urso and Becky, you are in our thoughts and prayers!

D'Urso Family...I am sorrowed to hear of your loss. Chuck was a great mentor to me. When Chuck retired I remember him telling me that "Every day will now be a Saturday". May he guard the streets of heaven.
