When Chuck and Teddy joined our West Two, Fifth Floor "neighborhood" here at the Village at Penn State, he was slow to warm to our welcome. But we are a special bunch of folks, we don't give up on anyone. Within a month of engaging him and his beloved doggie as they came and went for their frequent "relief walks," we learned more about Chuck and his interests. By the time of our 2018 New Year's Block Party, Chuck was "one of the gang." I invited him to speak to my book club as the visiting author of his book, "The Old Spook"...it was the best session for our group for the entire year. Chuck and I had some common events in our professional careers, and we shared our private experiences as true colleagues.
There were some sad days when Teddy took his final nap, but now with Chuck's passing, there is a void that will be hard to fill in the social network of The Penthouse floor in West Two. Farewell friend....
