I had just moved to NC and was looking forward to meeting Chuck. As the owner of PPBB and a wonderful moderator, he had my respect and admiration as one of the two best moderators I had ever experienced (and I had been online since before there was an internet).
And then I went to his funeral. Met his wife and two daughters.
Never had the chance to thank him for all the good karma he brought to an informal gathering of gearheads.
To his wife and family my thought and prayers.
