Chuck obtained his pilot’s license several years ago and enjoyed flying. He also loved to golf, fly remote controlled airplanes, help run the fog machine at ISU home games and was an avid Iowa Hawkeye fan.

I didn't have the pleasure of meeting you, Chuck, but feel as I know you from all the good things I have heard of you from your family,
I am so sorry that you had to leave everybody at such an early age but on the other hand, you are in the hands of our Lord. Some day you will be with everybody once again. You surely will be missed by everybody! But until all meets again, God bless you and all the family left behind. They were all so blessed to have you. Give your dad a big hug for me-

Joni, Justin and Kinsey,
I am so sorry for your loss. He was such a kind and gentle soul. He loved his family more than anything. I would love to holler up at him while he was working in his yard and razz him about those Hawkeyes that he loved.
Please know Kev and I are just a phone call away and will be there for whatever you may need .
All our love,
Kev & Sue Hall
