I was so saddened to hear of Chuck's passing. Although I have not seen him for over 40 years, he was my first love and we shared many, many letters while he was in Vietnam with my brother, Jerry. We did keep in touch, though, and will remain friends forever. My condolences to the family, he will be missed here but will be with us all someday in Heaven.##imported-begin##Beth (Anderson) Gordon##imported-end##

Till we meet again...

Maggie & Family,
My heart is grieving for you over the loss of such a loved man. I met Chuck when he welcomed me to the MPS family with opened arms. I will always remember sitting around in my office talking about anything and everything. He was a great guy who never met someone that he didn't have a kind word about. Please know that you and your extended family are in my thoughts and prayers.##imported-begin##Judi Rambo-Dykstra##imported-end##
We shared a passion for motorcycles and guitars. He was a Viet Nam brother that understood all we came home with in our lives. We had a million funny student stories we could all tell when together, and now we had so many grandparent stories waiting to be shared. These are just a few of the things that we will miss about Chuck. He will always be remembered with great appreciation and fondness. May you feel comfort from the prayers of your many friends during this difficult time and in the knowledge that we will see him again.##imported-begin##Wes and Lil Spyke##imported-end##
I went through School with Chuck and he was always fun to be with and a great guy to know. I have many good memories of our times together with the rest of our class. There is nothing to say for the loss you are all sharing at this time. You are in my prayers and my thoughts. Bless you all.##imported-begin##Bette Hazard Johnson##imported-end##

my thoughts and prayers go out to the Kozal family. chuck was an awesome, friendly and very caring person. i had chuck for a teacher at m-tech for my last few months of high school before graduating. he never made any of the students feel any less of themselves if they had problems and always did his best to help. chuck was cool and acted like one of the students instead of a teacher, he had fun with us and that's what made him different fromm the other teachers. i will miss him and thought of him often after high school. once again i'm very truely sorry for your loss, i recently loss my mom too 5 months ago.##imported-begin##Lisa Claflin(Moseley)##imported-end##
