Chuck was such a great friend to my father, Jim Trout. He was always full of good cheer and could be counted on to enjoy a laugh and a beer. Chuck came with us on several ski trips, and apres ski was never more fun than with him. He was also such a caring soul…just an overall great human being. I will also remember him with a smile.
