"Chuck was like a second dad to me in high school! He always had an encouraging word and a big hug. One of my best memories was when WHS played WC. He would always give me grief during the game then give me a big hug afterwards! I will definitely miss him. Laura, Mary Jane and Jason - you will always be in my thoughts and prayers as you make the transition of life without him."
In loving memory of
Charles Edward Bottoms
