Over the past 15 years, Chach and I formed a bond of friendship through work and beyond. We enjoyed each other's company, humor, love for music, cooking and had many other interests in common. He was a rock and sounding board for me through many difficult times. Chach and his family took me into their lives when I needed friendship.
To say that a person who was part of almost your daily life will be missed is so sadly short of the reality. I'm happy for the memories, but sad there won't be new ones to be made. Godspeed my friend. Save me a spot, I'll be seeing you again.

I met Chach when I transferred to the Vision Center about 5yrs ago. It didn't take me long to know he was a kind, gentle giant but also a joker. He always had a smile to greet everyone. He was very passionate towards his work and it showed with the respect he earned from his co-workers and customers that loved him dearly. He will be greatly missed. May God Bless his family through this difficult time.

Ines greeted me every Sunday morning with that wide smile of his. We had a special bond as both members of the Army of God and the Army of man.
